Schloss Heringen, Renaissance château in Goldene Aue valley, Germany.

The white-walled Schloss Heringen rises five stories high, measuring 34 meters tall with sturdy stone construction dating from medieval times.

The castle originated between 1322 and 1327 when Hohenstein counts built a Romanesque fortress called Haus zur Goldene Aue at this location.

The castle museum displays archaeological findings from the Neolithic period, showing evidence of the first settlements in Thuringia from 7,500 years ago.

Visitors can explore permanent exhibits featuring a corner shop, period furniture collections, and reconstructed kitchens from the 1930s and 1950s.

Countess Clara von Schwarzburg, daughter of the Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, resided in the castle as a widow from 1598 until 1658.
