Thiemsburg, Medieval castle in Schönstedt, Germany
The stone castle stands at an elevation of 335 meters within the Hainich National Park, featuring remnants of earthworks and defensive ditches.
The fortification, first documented in 1143, protected the Zimmern'sche Weg trade route through the Hainich forest until the Thirty Years' War.
The castle grounds contain boundary stones from 1741 displaying the coat of arms of Bad Langensalza and the noble Goldacker family from Weberstedt.
The site includes circular walking paths and connects to the Tree Top Path Hainich, which opened in 2005 offering forest canopy exploration.
The location served as a sheep farming estate and later housed a forest production unit with facilities that remained until 2012.
