Rauenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Pockau-Lengefeld, Germany
Rauenstein Castle stands at 420 meters altitude above the Flöha River, featuring defensive structures and a 40-meter tunnel built in the eastern section.
The castle, first mentioned in 1323 and originally owned by the Schellenberg knights, became part of the Electorate of Saxony in 1567.
The von Herder family, descendants of theologian Johann Gottfried von Herder, managed the castle from 1843, implementing their motto Light, Love, Life.
The castle now serves as a venue for wedding celebrations, corporate events, and specialized tastings focusing on whiskey and rum experiences.
A 40-meter tunnel constructed in 1630 during major renovations remains intact within the eastern section of the castle complex.
