Schloss Sonnewalde, Renaissance castle in Sonnewalde, Germany
The castle complex includes a two-story gatehouse with curved gables, side buildings, and a western addition featuring volute gables at its entrance.
The original structure, built in 1470, transformed into a Renaissance castle between 1577 and 1592 under the direction of the Counts of Solms.
The front castle section now houses a museum displaying rural life exhibits, including traditional crafts, educational materials, and the 450-year history of Solms-Sonnewalde family.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds and park through a digital audio guide system by scanning QR codes at various stations throughout the location.
The entrance portal features an alliance coat of arms of Solms and Nassau families, crowned with a distinctive pelican symbol above the aedicula-styled gate.
