Schloss Osterstein, Renaissance château in Gera, Germany.
The castle sits on Hainberg hill in Untermhaus district, featuring a 21-meter-high keep tower and remnants of Renaissance architectural elements.
The fortress construction began in the 12th century by the Lords of Weida, later becoming the residence of the princes of Reuss until 1945.
The castle grounds now include an open-air stage where performances take place, continuing the location's role in regional cultural activities.
Visitors can access the remaining structures, including a terrace café established in 1962 that provides views of the preserved castle ruins.
The last owner, Heinrich XLV, disappeared in 1945 after Soviet forces took him, marking the end of centuries of noble residency.
