Schloss Hohenthurm, Cultural heritage monument in Landsberg, Germany.
The castle stands on a porphyry hill, featuring an irregular pentagon shape with a 75-meter-long vaulted brewery cellar beneath the structure.
First documented in 1244 as 'Arnoldus de alta turri', the castle underwent major renovations after a fire in 1683 and reconstruction in the 18th century.
The structure combines Romanesque architecture in its chapel with Renaissance elements, showcasing the evolution of German architectural styles through centuries.
The Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg operated within the castle walls from 1945 to 2001, utilizing the space for plant breeding research.
The original watchtower, built in 936 as part of a defense system against Slavic tribes, grew into a 36-meter-high medieval keep.
