Unfortunately, the keep is currently not accessible.

A building worth seeing and impressive from the outside.

The hunting lodge was built from a former glassworks and was completed in 1595. It initially belonged to the County of Henneberg, and later to the Duke of Saxony-Eisenach. The first residents settled in front of the castle in 1693, and founded the town of Zillbach. The most famous Zillbacher was Heinrich Cotta, who was born in a nearby forester's house and ran a forestry institute in the castle. Cotta is considered the founder of modern forestry science. When we read about things like "forest conversion" today, it is due to his research and teachings. The "coastal forest" did not exist before either. So today's sustainable management of the forests can be traced back to his teachings.

Nice place to stay for a short while.

The Zillbach hunting lodge, a former building of the Grand Dukes of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, impressively characterizes the village.

The two-storey building with the round stair tower now houses holiday apartments. Built around 1600, Johann Leopold von Geyso bought the estate in 1710 and added the stair tower to the front. The von Geyso family lived in the castle until the middle of the 19th century. It came into the possession of the Prussian Minister of Trade von Berlepsch via the industrialist Wenzel. Outbuildings and farm buildings fell victim to the great village fire in 1895. After the Second World War, the property was nationalised and the local administration and library moved in. A descendant of the von Berlepschs got the property back after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Lengsfeld Castle is also known as the moated castle or Boineburg Castle. As early as 1125, Hersfeld Monastery had a castle built in a protected area of the Felda floodplain. It was significantly expanded in the 14th century and became the property of the Boineburg family in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the moats were filled in, a park was created and the castle was converted into a residential castle. After the Second World War, the state took over the estate and the castle complex was used as a sanatorium. The complex on the outskirts of Stadtlengsfeld now houses a rehabilitation clinic specializing in psychosomatics.

Beautiful little castle in the Rhön.
