Burg Creuzburg, Medieval castle in Creuzburg, Germany

The castle stands on a hill above the Werra River, featuring a preserved ring wall, deep well, and former palace sections from its original construction.

Built between 1165 and 1170 by Landgraf Ludwig II, the castle served as a residence for Saint Elisabeth of Hungary during the early 13th century.

The castle museum displays exhibits about Saint Elisabeth, local history, and includes the Elisabeth bedroom, torture cellar, and Michael Praetorius collection.

From April to October, visitors can access the castle Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 17:00.

The castle grounds contain a historic linden tree and host regular concerts in the knights' hall, while a working pottery studio operates in the former stable.
