Brandenburg Castle
Gerstungen, Germany, Germany
Brandenburg Castle near Gerstungen, Germany, is Thuringia's largest double castle ruin, majestically overlooking Lauchröden from a forested hilltop as a medieval stronghold with origins tracing to pre-Roman Iron Age settlements.
Comprising the East Castle (Ostburg) and West Castle (Westburg)—each with distinct histories—the site served as an administrative seat for the Counts of Wartburg under Thuringian landgraves from 1138, later held by families like Reckrodt (West, 1440-1720) and Herda zu Brandenburg (East, 1415-1892).
Freely accessible year-round with a small museum, events, and hiking trails, it offers stunning Thuringian Forest views and draws visitors for its layered noble heritage and atmospheric ruins.
