Schloss Schkopau, Medieval château in Schkopau, Germany.

The château consists of two main buildings with a central tower reaching 11 meters high, surrounded by a moat and positioned near the Saale River.

The original fortress dates from the 9th century during Charlemagne's era, and later became property of the von Trotha family who owned it for 468 years.

The château functions as a central location for regional gatherings, hosting music performances and exhibitions throughout the calendar year.

The building now operates as a four-star hotel, offering accommodations and guided tours for visitors interested in exploring the medieval architecture.

The north section of the château burned down in 1830, leading to its reconstruction in Neo-Renaissance style with distinctive architectural elements in 1876.
