ヴェーバーシュテットの洞窟・トップ16

Beautiful sight and great garden

A very beautiful facility that you can visit. The exhibition in the bird sanctuary is extremely interesting and very educational.

A well-restored and well-maintained castle ruin. Everything is secure, the tower is accessible via a staircase and there is even a toilet. The view from the tower is very beautiful.

A stork nests on the roof.

The current building was built around 1800, but the foundation walls date back to the Middle Ages. The original building is said to have been a moated castle, but over the years the castle was repeatedly adapted to the styles of the time. After thorough renovation, it is now used by the Mihla administrative community.

Unfortunately it is still closed due to construction work. So we'll be back. A circular hike from there is definitely worth it.

You walk past it. It's a shame it's so inconspicuous.

The Friederikenschlösschen is named after the dowager duchess Friederike of Saxony-Weissenfels (1715-1775). She lived in Langensalza from 1746 until her death and had this palace built between 1749 and 1751 with the two neighboring cavalier houses as a summer residence. Friederike was a daughter of Duke Friedrich II of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (Ernestine) and was married to Duke Johann Adolph II of Saxony-Weissenfels (1685-1746). The colored alliance coat of arms in a cartouche above the entrance door to the Friederikenschlösschen shows the connection between these two ducal houses. The current palace park was reconstructed in its baroque basic structure from 1751 based on historical plans. The former carriage and stable house on the north side of the garden has housed the historic printing works of the city of Bad Langensalza since March 2008. In the back part of the garden, a historic garden pavilion from 1878 has been preserved. There, sulphur water bubbles out of a bronze basin, which has been used as healing water in the spa town of Bad Langensalza since 1812.
