Ehrenburg, Medieval castle in Plaue, Germany.
The castle features a central defensive tower surrounded by fortified walls positioned on a hill overlooking the Thuringian landscape.
The construction of Ehrenburg began in 1324 under the direction of the Grafen von Schwarzburg family, marking their territorial influence in medieval Thuringia.
The Friends of Ehrenburg Association, established in 1993, maintains the castle's preservation and organizes educational programs about medieval German architecture.
Visitors can reach the castle through guided tours arranged by the local tourist office, with hotel accommodations available directly at the premises.
The castle contains a kissing niche where, according to regional tradition, couples who declare their commitment remain together throughout their lives.
