Imposing castle, now a specialist clinic

Also worth a highlight for me; however, it is privately owned and not open to the public

Once the castle is renovated, it will surely be a wonderful sight. It could be used for many purposes: a café or exhibitions.

It's a beautiful setting with a magnificent park and animal enclosures with kangaroos and pheasants. You can stay here in stately style at a hefty price – a night with breakfast for two people costs ONLY €250! But it was a beautiful sight for us.

A very beautiful building.

There has been a fortification on the castle hill since the 11th century. In 1084, Emperor Henry IV enfeoffed Wiprecht von Groitzsch, the later Margrave of Meissen and Lusatia, with the Castrum Ranis - the first documented mention. (Wikipedia)

First written information from the 9th century as a Slavic refuge. Around the year 1000 it was mentioned as a count's hunting lodge and from 1080 as a "fortified house" of the Count of Schwarzburg (Leutenberg line). Over the centuries there were ongoing conversions and extensions to become the count's and widow's residence of the Leutenberg family and the princes of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. 1934 major fire at Friedensburg. Restoration work by the GDR government. From 1958 it served as a guest house for the GDR Council of Ministers. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 it was used as a hotel complex. This was followed by extensive renovation work and the installation of a hospital in 1993. The "Friedensburg Castle" complex opened as a specialist hospital for dermatology. Guided tours of the specialist hospital and the castle complex by appointment. The inner courtyard is recommended for visits 🤩.
