Blankenhain Castle, Heritage castle in Crimmitschau, Germany
The castle features mansard roofs and domed towers, standing on 11 hectares of land with 60 historical buildings throughout the grounds.
Built in the 12th century and documented in 1423 as Wasserburg, the castle underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1661 destroyed half of its structure.
The castle functions as an educational center displaying agricultural practices and rural life in central Germany from 1890 to 1990.
Visitors can explore the open-air museum sections throughout the year, with each building presenting different aspects of traditional farming methods.
Local residents protected the castle from Soviet demolition orders after World War II, preserving this historical monument for future generations.
