Spangenberg Castle, Medieval castle in Spangenberg, Germany.
The stone fortress rises above the town of Spangenberg with rectangular towers, Gothic elements, and thick defensive walls reaching 40 meters in height.
Lords of Treffurt built the initial structure in 1235 to guard a trade route from Frankfurt to Leipzig before selling it to Hessian landgraves in 1350.
The castle houses a hunting museum in its 1625 armory, displaying artifacts and documents that reflect the regional hunting traditions through centuries.
The fortress now operates as a hotel and restaurant, offering accommodations in renovated chambers while maintaining its architectural heritage from the Middle Ages.
During World War II, the castle served as a detention center for British officers before an American air raid caused substantial damage to the structure.
