Runneburg, Medieval castle in Weißensee, Germany.
The stone walls of Runneburg Castle rise against the Thuringian landscape, featuring defensive towers and architectural elements from multiple construction periods.
Constructed in 1168 under the direction of Landgrave Jutta, sister of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa, Runneburg served as a royal residence for centuries.
The Thüringer Schlösser und Gärten foundation maintains this cultural heritage site, which presents exhibitions about medieval life and regional history.
Visitors can participate in guided tours of the castle grounds from Tuesday through Sunday, with special rates available for families and groups.
The castle's convention facilities combine medieval architecture with modern amenities, allowing events to take place within centuries-old stone walls.
