Castle of Altenburg, Medieval castle and museum in Altenburg, Germany.

The castle stands on a hilltop with multiple wings, towers, and architectural elements spanning from medieval fortifications to Renaissance palace features.

Originally constructed in the 10th century as a defensive structure, the castle transformed into a residence for the dukes of Altenburg through centuries.

The castle museum displays collections of historical furniture, portraits, weapons, and regional artifacts that reflect the heritage of Thuringia.

Access to Schloss Altenburg and its exhibitions is available Tuesday through Sunday and public holidays from 09:30 to 17:00 throughout the year.

The winter exhibition explores chocolate history, featuring historical 'Zittertassen' cups and casting molds that document European chocolate consumption patterns.
