Kunitzburg Castle is a picturesque castle ruin perched on a hill above the Kunitz district of Jena. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this historic site offers fascinating insights into regional history and medieval architecture.

The ruins of Lobdeburg Castle are among the most impressive and best-preserved Romanesque secular buildings in Thuringia. They are also among the most important cultural monuments in the territory of the independent city of Jena and represent an important local recreation destination for the people of the surrounding area.

A beautiful 🏰 with an interactive museum, the Bridge of Wishes 🍀, and the castle tavern 😋. Events are held here several times a year. The hiking trails around the 🏰 are simply stunning and offer magnificent views 😍.

With its almost completely preserved structure of double walls, moats and defensive towers, it is one of the most fascinating hilltop castles in Germany and rightly bears the sonorous nickname "Queen of the Saale".

Beautiful wooden figure from the Tautenburg 🏰 with donation box stands directly in front of the magnificent bridge.

There was a castle in the town, which was built in 1482 by Burkhard Schenk von Tautenburg. The last of the Tautenburg family, Christian Schenk von Tautenburg, died in this castle on August 3, 1640. He had previously watched as his 22-year-old wife, Countess Reuss, and his children died on November 25, 1631, and his castle in Frauenprießnitz went up in flames on May 12, 1638. The local castle was demolished in 1780 and its stones and building parts were used to rebuild the Frauenprießnitz castle. (Wikipedia)

The first documented mention of the Tautenburg dates back to 1223. It came into the possession of the Schenken von Vargula before 1232. A branch of the Schenken, who named themselves after the Tautenburg, settled here until 1640. It is not known when the first village settlement developed below the castle, but it probably happened soon after the castle was built. The castle and the adjacent forest were initially given as a fief to the Lords of Lobdeburg-Saalburg as sub-vassals of the empire. When Hartmann IV of Lobdeburg-Saalburg died without a male heir, Emperor Frederick II transferred the imperial fief to the Tautenburg Schenken in 1243. (Wikipedia)

A beautiful ruin with some places to rest and a wonderful view 🤩.
