レンプテンドルフの洞窟・トップ20

This hilltop castle, originally part of the Orlagau region, was built over a thousand years ago in the midst of a clearing on the upper reaches of the Saale River and its tributary, the Loquitz. It was first mentioned in a document from 1222. Via the Counts of Orlamünde (1250) and the Knights of Ghüna (1506), the castle finally passed to the Margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach and Bayreuth in 1622, falling to Prussia in 1791 and Bavaria in 1803. In 1896, the castle romanticist Dr. Erhard Messmer from Halle an der Saale acquired the completely neglected castle complex, had it renovated, and refurbished. Katharina von Orlamünde was born at Lauenstein Castle in the 14th century. She is said to haunt the castle to this day as the restless ghost known as the "White Lady."

After the castle romanticist Dr. Ehrhard Messmer from Halle an der Saale purchased the dilapidated Lauenstein Castle in 1896, he had the building renovated in the historicist style. This included the restoration of the bridge over the moat leading up to the historic castle gate.

The fairy tale “The Golden Goose” was filmed at Burgk Castle.

This construction is not very pretty, but useful.

The red tower with its half-timbered hood is a great photo motif.

In the Middle Ages, the bailiffs of Gera (ancestors of the Reussen) built a castle at a location that was well placed for defense. The fortification is still preserved.

The castle is entered via a stone bridge. A customs tariff table is displayed on the outer bridge under the office building.

The interior of the castle ranges from the simple elegance of the Knights' Hall, the largest room in the oldest part of the castle, to the dining room, which is decorated in the French style, to the state bedroom, a room that elevates the bed to the throne of statesmanlike affairs. In addition, the music salon and China room allow a glimpse into the refined living culture of the Rococo period.
