Schloss Blankenhain

The castle spans across an elevated plateau, featuring a staircase tower, historic courtyard gate, and relief sculptures on the oriel windows.

Built in 1150 as a Romanesque ring fortress on a former Frankish castle site, the structure underwent major renovations during the 17th century.

The castle functions as a cultural center hosting festivals, markets, and various events throughout the year in its expansive inner and outer courtyards.

From Easter to October, visitors can join guided tours exploring the castle's architecture, including the grand hall that accommodates 70 guests.

The castle association, established in 2000, leads restoration projects to maintain this cultural monument's historical features and architectural elements.
