Schloss Hallenburg

Schloss Hallenburg is a baroque castle in Schlitz featuring two-and-a-half stories, a hipped roof, and classical architectural details expressed through careful stonework. The grounds include castle gardens and a hall that serves for events and ceremonies.

The structure grew from a fortified court in the 16th century and was completely redesigned between 1706 and 1712 by architect Louis Rémy de la Fosse. This renovation gave the site its present baroque form.

The castle now houses the Landesmusikakademie Hessen, a music academy that brings teaching and artistic work into its rooms. Visitors can sense how the historic building has become a living center for musical education in the region.

The castle gardens are open year-round for visitors to explore and walk through at their own pace. The main hall is used for weddings and special events, so what you can see may vary depending on scheduled activities.

The surrounding park was converted from its original baroque design into an English landscape style around 1800 and contains rare tree species. This blend of two different garden traditions makes the grounds botanically and visually distinctive.
