Schloß Landsberg, Medieval castle in Meiningen, Germany
The neo-gothic castle stands on a 378-meter-high hill north of Meiningen, featuring three towers, a gatehouse, and a caretaker's residence behind crenellated walls.
Built between 1836 and 1840 by Duke Bernhard II of Saxe-Meiningen on the ruins of Landeswehre fortress, which was destroyed during the German Peasants' War in 1525.
The Knights' Hall contains wall paintings designed by Wilhelm Lindenschmit the Elder, reflecting medieval artistic traditions and architectural elements from British noble residences.
The castle remains closed to public visits since 2014, when it ceased operating as a luxury hotel that offered 13 double rooms and 7 suites.
British Queen Adelaide, sister of Duke Bernhard II, provided financial support for construction while British architect Jeffry Wyatville created the original plans.
