Geleitshaus Weißenfels, Renaissance monument in Weißenfels, Germany.
The stone building at Große Burgstraße 22 features distinctive architectural elements from the 16th century, including original Renaissance period construction details.
Built in 1552 by Hieronymus Kiesewetter, the structure served as a government office where travelers could hire armed soldiers for protection during their journeys.
The Gustav-Adolf-Museum inside the building displays a detailed diorama of the Battle of Lützen, created with 10,000 tin soldiers.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Friday between 15:00 and 21:00, and on weekends from 10:00 until 18:00.
The building gained historical significance when Swedish King Gustav II Adolf's body was prepared here after his death at the Battle of Lützen in 1632.
