Burg Schaumberg, Medieval castle in Schalkau, Germany
The stone walls and towers of Burg Schaumberg stand on elevated ground, providing a commanding view over the surrounding Thuringian landscape.
The castle served as a defensive structure during regional conflicts in medieval Germany, protecting trade routes and local settlements from potential invasions.
Local craftsmen demonstrate traditional building techniques used in the castle's construction during special educational programs throughout the year.
