Käseburg

The Käseburg castle features a rectangular solid tower measuring seven by six meters, constructed with rubble stone on an elevated mound surrounded by moats.

First documented in 1276, the castle changed ownership from the Herren von Käseburg to the Herren von Salza and later to the Herren von Wangenheim in 1549.

The castle complex represents medieval defensive architecture with its motte-and-bailey layout and includes a keyhole arrow slit on the northern wall.

Located twelve kilometers northwest of Gotha, the castle ruin stands near the village church in the southern part of Brüheim along Schlossgasse street.

The residential tower survived a devastating fire in 1869 that destroyed the farmhouse, leading to renovations of its timber-framed upper section during the 19th century.
