Burg Henneberg, Medieval castle ruin in Meiningen, Germany
The stone ruins stand at 510 meters elevation, featuring remaining sections of circular walls, a residential palace, and a partially preserved tower.
First documented in 1096, the castle served as the ancestral seat of the Counts of Henneberg until their dynasty ended with Count Georg Ernst in 1583.
The castle grounds hosted a public festival in 1784 to celebrate the birthday of Duke Georg I of Saxe-Meiningen with regional celebrations.
The observation tower, converted from the former keep in 1880, provides views across the Henneberg region extending into Bavaria.
A replica of Henneburg Castle was constructed in Hamburg in 1884 at one-fourth scale, despite having no connection to the Henneberg counts.
