Schloss Dornburg, Baroque castle in Gommern, Germany
The central building of Schloss Dornburg exhibits a golden crown on its roof cornice and presents yellow facades characteristic of baroque architecture.
Princess Johanna Elisabeth commissioned architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel to design this residence in 1750, following French architectural principles.
The castle holds historical importance as the intended residence of Princess Johanna Elisabeth, mother of Catherine the Great of Russia.
The castle requires extensive renovation work, with estimated costs reaching multiple millions of euros for complete restoration of the structure.
During the German Democratic Republic period, the castle stored 10 million secret documents that were concealed by the SED regime.
