Burg Meiningen, Medieval castle in Meiningen, Germany
The castle stands on elevated terrain, featuring defensive walls and towers that demonstrate traditional medieval fortification architecture of the Thuringia region.
The original Gothic fortress from 1511 served as a strategic defensive position before being transformed into the foundation of Elisabethenburg Palace in 1682.
The castle grounds contain architectural elements that reflect the changing styles from Gothic to Baroque periods in German defensive structures.
Visitors can explore the castle ruins and surrounding park area, which connects to the current Elisabethenburg Palace museum complex.
The castle site maintains visible medieval foundations beneath the later Baroque palace construction, showing the architectural evolution of German fortifications.
