Ottoburg, Early Baroque castle in Schlitz, Germany.
The rectangular building features fourteen axes in its layout and incorporates two semi-circular corner towers on the rear side of the structure.
The construction started in the fifteenth century and received major modifications between 1681 and 1686 under the direction of Philipp Friedrich von Schlitz.
The northern corner tower remains part of the original city fortifications, demonstrating the evolution from defensive structures to residential buildings in German architecture.
Located at Marktplatz 2 in Schlitz, the castle contains the Gräfliches Urkundenarchiv and functions as a house museum for historical documentation.
The castle stands as one of five fortifications in Schlitz, contributing to the town's reputation as a center of medieval defensive architecture.
