Magnificent castle in the restored parts - truly worth seeing!

The first castle complex was built around 900 on the site of a former Slavic settlement. It probably served as an outpost of the royal palace of Dornburg. Renovations and extensions took place in the following centuries. The outer walls visible today, with their four towers, date from the 16th century.

Yes, that's how the old knights were! ... and don't forget to go to the church a little further up afterwards and look at the knights... in stone!

The castle church "St. Trinitatis" Duke Christian had this baroque transverse church built between 1679 and 1692 by the master builders Gundermann and Richter. Italian plasterers and the Saxon court painter Harms designed the interior of the church. The Donat Trost organ is one of the most important instruments in central Germany. Due to its interior design, the church is considered the most beautiful baroque church in Thuringia.

Unfinished and unconsecrated church, but nevertheless architecturally impressive, such a beautiful, simple space.

After the death of his father Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg in 1675, Duke Christian of Saxe-Eisenberg received part of the former Principality of Altenburg with the offices of Eisenberg, Camburg, Ronneburg and Roda as the Duchy of Saxe-Eisenberg. He chose the town of Eisenberg as his residence. Here he built the Christiansburg Castle, on the east side of which he built the baroque castle church from 1680 to 1692. The Eisenberg Castle Church is a transverse church with a choir facing east, in which the pulpit altar and the two-story organ are located. The construction was led by Wilhelm Gundermann from Altenburg and Johann Moritz Richter from Weißenfels. The court painter Harms painted the church since 1684. The vaulted choir ceiling is filled with the fresco “Adoration of the 24 Elders, before the Throne of God”. The arched arch is decorated with plastic stucco work. The altarpiece depicts “Mary Annunciation” and has a wreath of flowers and fruits in stucco work
