Schloss Schwarzburg, Cultural heritage monument in Schwarzburg, Germany
Schloss Schwarzburg stands at 560 meters altitude on a mountain ridge, overlooking the Schwarza valley in the Thuringian region of Germany.
The castle, first documented in 1071, served as the ancestral seat of the Counts and Princes of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt until the German Revolution of 1918.
The Kaisersaal, redesigned between 1713 and 1719, contained an extensive collection of royal and imperial portraits representing German nobility through centuries.
The armory building remains accessible to visitors, displaying historical weapons, while the main castle structure undergoes continuous preservation work since 2011.
Two major fires in 1695 and 1980 led to significant architectural changes in the castle complex, resulting in its current partially preserved state.
