Schloss Dryburg, Medieval château in Bad Langensalza, Germany

The four-story stone building features an L-shaped layout with preserved west and south wings in the northern part of Bad Langensalza's historic center.

The Lords of Salza established this residence in the 12th century, and Emperor Otto IV laid siege to the castle in 1212 with a special siege machine.

The structure represents the oldest complete stone residence in Bad Langensalza, reflecting the architectural transitions from medieval fortress to administrative center.

Following renovations in the 1990s, the château now functions as a residential and commercial building in the heart of the old town.

A notable birch tree near the château, known as the Owl Tree, provides winter shelter for up to 40 owls among its branches.
