Schloss Gottesaue, Renaissance château in Oststadt, Karlsruhe, Germany.
The castle features early Renaissance architecture with tall exterior walls, stone facades, and multiple levels rising from its foundation in Karlsruhe's eastern district.
Constructed between 1588 and 1597 by Margrave Ernst Friedrich of Baden-Durlach, the building stands on the former site of a Benedictine abbey from 1094.
The Karlsruhe University of Music has occupied the castle since 1989, transforming the historical structure into an educational center for musical studies.
Visitors can access the castle grounds throughout the year and attend musical performances held regularly within its reconstructed Renaissance walls.
The castle survived multiple destructions, including severe damage during World War II, with only half of its outer walls remaining before its 1982 reconstruction.
