Burg und Schloss Allstedt, Medieval castle in Allstedt, Germany.

The castle complex includes defensive walls reaching 3.5 meters in thickness and features arrow slits integrated into the fortification system.

From 935 to 1200, the castle served as a royal palace where German kings and emperors conducted administrative duties and held court.

Thomas Müntzer delivered his influential sermon to Duke John the Steadfast in 1524 at the castle, marking a crucial moment in Reformation history.

The castle remains closed until summer 2025 due to renovation work managed by the Cultural Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt.

The late Gothic castle kitchen contains one of the largest medieval chimneys found in European castle architecture.
