In 1995, the entire Altenstein Castle and Park complex was transferred to the ownership of the Thuringian Castles and Gardens Foundation.

beautiful views in the park of Altenstein Castle

Altenstein Castle was built in 1736 as a residential palace (country house) for the Dukes of Meiningen and expanded after 1800 as a summer residence. The castle is set in extensive parkland, Altenstein Park. With an area of approximately 160 hectares, it is one of the largest historic parks in Thuringia. The 15-hectare core of the park surrounds the castle, the main attractions, and the adjacent, intensively maintained meadows and borders. This area is enclosed by a protective fence to protect it from wild boar and other wild animals.

Very beautiful and well-kept grounds. The flowerbeds right next to the castle are almost like works of art.

The Liebenstein castle ruins tower high above the city. Currently closed for renovation work.

The Altenstein Landscape Park is very well maintained and yet fully accessible. Great facility with great highlights and views.

The castle was probably built in the High Middle Ages by the Lords of Frankenstein, who resided near Bad Salzungen, as an outpost. After it passed to the Wettin dynasty, the Lords vom Stein zu Altenstein received the castle as a fief and rebuilt it. Hermann vom Stein oversaw its expansion in the Renaissance style around 1599. Around 1800, under the influence of Romanticism, efforts began to restore the now ruined complex. The Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen appreciated its appearance within sight of the landscaped park surrounding their summer residence, Altenstein Castle.
