Schloss Ehrenberg, Medieval spur castle in Altenburg, Germany.
The castle rises on a strategic hill location, featuring neo-renaissance and neo-baroque architectural elements from its 1878-1880 reconstruction period.
First mentioned in records from 1244, the castle changed ownership multiple times after the extinction of the Altenburg burgraves in 1329.
The castle structure demonstrates the evolution of German defensive architecture, incorporating elements from different construction periods spanning several centuries.
Visitors can access the privately owned castle grounds, which now house the offices of a regional newspaper in one of its restored outbuildings.
Between 1805 and 1816, the castle premises operated as a cotton spinning facility before experiencing a significant fire that destroyed agricultural structures.
