The former forester's lodge of the von Baumbach family is the oldest surviving residential building in Hoheneiche and continues to shape the townscape. Its construction date is inscribed on the door lintel: May 4, 1633. The ornate timber framing with carved figures of men on the corner posts and richly decorated crossbeams is particularly striking. Unfortunately, the original inscriptions on the sills are no longer legible. The building was designed by the local master carpenter Lorenz Heckmann. The gable-end extension dates from the 18th century. The house is still owned by descendants of the von Baumbach family. Special feature: The property includes a garden of approximately 6,000 m², which the Helmert family has transformed into a garden renowned far beyond the town's borders in recent decades. The garden is especially charming during the rose blooming season. The garden was open to visitors on "Open Garden Day."

what a beautiful landscape

The morning is better for taking photos, as the restaurant is open in the afternoon.

The castle is very impressive and definitely worth a detour. The climb up there is steep, but doable.

Shortly before the end of the tour you can take another beautiful look at the Creuzburg from here.

The view back over the beautiful gardens to the Kreuzburg is 🫠

Creuzburg Castle is one of Thuringia's five Landgrave castles. Landgrave Hermann I began construction of a castle (Creuzburg Castle) on the hill and had the peasants scattered throughout the region gathered into a settlement at the foot of the mountain. Thus, the town of Creuzburg was planned and granted city rights, including the use of a coat of arms and jurisdiction, in 1213, and surrounded by a wall. During its heyday, it was often a residence of Louis IV and his wife, Saint Elizabeth.

Beautiful, well-preserved city center
