Abandoned site of the Kirchberg Royal Palace From the southern path, there are no steps to reach this site; from the northern path, a short, steep staircase leads up to Marienblick. Only the old cistern remains of the royal palace; otherwise, only uneven ground surfaces remain, which, with a bit of imagination, might reveal some of the original structure.

The Greifberg Castle was located further west on the ridge of the Hausberg. Here, it was the Imperial Palace of Kirchberg.

Nice tour

Be sure to look and discover for a long time (for little kids who like knights it is very nice and they have a lot of fun and want to come back here again

The city area, which slopes gently from west to east toward the Saale River, was surrounded by a city wall from around 1300. It was 12 meters high and 2 meters wide. Four corner towers and twelve shell towers served as defenses. The city could be entered through three city gates controlled by city guards: the Saaltor in the east, the Johannistor in the west, and the Löbdertor in the south. Today, three corner towers remain, their names indicating their later use or construction: the Powder Tower in the northwest, at the highest point of the city fortifications, the Anatomy Tower in the southwest, and the Red Tower in the southeast. Only the foundations of the castle tower on the current university building remain. The Saaltor and Löbdertor were demolished in the 19th century. Only the Johannistor has survived the changes of time to this day. Around 1500, the approximately 4,000 inhabitants of the city of Jena lived in small farmsteads consisting of residential buildings, stables, and workshops.

Built around 1846, privately owned until 1960. From 1960 onward, it served as a holiday home for the VEB Fernmeldewerk Arnstadt (Stately Owned Telecommunications Works), and has been vacant since reunification. In 2002, the Federal Property Office sold it to a tax consultant from Jena.
