Burg Bodenstein, Medieval castle in Thuringia, Germany.
The castle structure includes multiple defensive towers, a functional drawbridge, ancient walls, and an expansive inner courtyard surrounded by dense forests.
Founded by Henry I the Fowler, the castle survived the Peasants' War of 1525 and changed ownership from the Bodensteiner family to the Welfs in 1275.
The castle chapel contains an organ and hosts regular concerts, while educational programs teach visitors about medieval life through guided experiences.
Tours in German language operate from May to October on Sundays and holidays at 3 PM, with advance reservations required for off-season visits.
The castle features accommodation options including themed rooms like the Sleeping Beauty Suite and connects to an underground medieval dungeon system.
