Schloss Bärenstein, Medieval château in Altenberg, Germany
The structure consists of three irregular sections built on a rectangular foundation, featuring a prominent round tower on its southern side.
The Herren von Bernstein constructed the original castle around 1200, with the first documented mention of the fortress appearing in 1324.
The château contains a ceremonial hall with large rounded arch windows and wooden ceilings decorated with marble-like paintings from the 17th century.
The château remains in private ownership since 1995 and requires prior arrangements for visits, as regular public access is not permitted.
Between 1945 and 1990, the building operated as a training center and holiday residence for the National Democratic Party of Germany.
