Schloss Schleiz, Medieval château in Schleiz, Germany
The château features two preserved towers that stand as remnants of the original structure, marking the historical center of Schleiz.
Built in the 13th and 14th centuries, the château underwent major renovations in 1500 under Heinrich von Reuss and received a horseshoe-shaped design in 1755.
The château housed valuable collections of the Princely Reuss family archive and numerous art objects until their destruction during World War II.
The grounds currently belong to the Thuringian Ministry of Interior and contain the police station of the Saale-Orla district in a former chamber building.
After the 1945 bombing raid, citizens' initiatives preserved the towers, which received new spires during reconstruction work completed in 1993.
