Schloss Saalfeld/Saale, Baroque castle in Saalfeld, Germany.
The castle stands on Petersberg hill with its grand central wing and two side wings featuring decorative stone crownings dated from 1682.
Construction began on March 29, 1677, under Duke Albrecht and his six brothers, who divided the Duchy of Gotha-Altenburg following their father's inheritance.
Italian artists Giovanni Caroveri and Bartolomeo Lucchese created elaborate decorations in the staircase and castle chapel, displaying regional artistic excellence.
The castle functions as the administrative center for the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district, with guided tours available to explore its architectural features.
The castle chapel, completed in 1720, serves as a concert and celebration hall following extensive restoration work in 1984.
