Schloss Eichhof, Renaissance château in Bad Hersfeld, Germany
The Renaissance castle features a four-story structure with traditional gables, half-timbered upper floor, and two remaining original defensive walls.
Construction of the water castle began in 1328 by the abbots of Hersfeld Imperial Abbey as a stronghold during conflicts with the town.
Since 1986, the inner courtyard serves as a second open-air stage for the Bad Hersfeld Festival, hosting comedies and chamber plays.
The castle contains the Lutherzimmer, a room dedicated to Martin Luther's 1521 stay, which currently functions as a wedding ceremony location.
The structure transformed from a Gothic water fortress into a Renaissance summer residence through renovations by Abbot Ludwig V between 1571 and 1588.
