Burg Tannroda, Medieval castle in Bad Berka, Germany.
The castle stands on Lindenberg hill at 300 meters elevation, featuring a 22-meter round tower and remaining residential buildings near the Ilm River.
Built between 1100 and 1200, the castle served as the seat of the lords of Tannrode until its destruction in 1465 by citizens of Erfurt and Weimar.
The castle houses the Thuringian Basket Making Museum in its north wing, preserving traditional craftsmanship techniques of the region.
Visitors can climb the tower daily from 9:00 to 18:00, accessing 120 steps, while guided tours require advance booking with Dr. Antje Bähr.
The structure consists of the surviving Blue Castle section, while its twin, the Red Castle, was demolished in 1824 following a fire in 1775.
