Castles in Stadtlengsfeld, Medieval castle in Stadtlengsfeld, Germany.
Burg Lengsfeld stands on the western edge of Stadtlengsfeld's old town, positioned 270 meters above sea level with remaining walls and a main building featuring a round tower.
Originally built in the 12th century as the seat of the Lords of Lengesvelt who served as ministerials of Hersfeld Monastery, the castle was purchased by Fulda Monastery in 1326.
The castle serves as a significant example of medieval fortification architecture in Thuringia, representing the evolution of defensive structures throughout European history and regional building traditions.
The castle remains are accessible to the public throughout the day, with parking available in town and barrier-free access for wheelchair users, though the building currently operates as a private sanatorium.
During the Peasants' War of 1525, the castle was occupied by rebels, and today the facility functions as a clinic for psychotherapeutic rehabilitation while maintaining its historical architectural elements.
