Schloss Melsungen, Renaissance castle in Melsungen, Germany
The three-story rectangular palace features a winding staircase on its south side and maintains its original 16th-century architectural elements throughout the structure.
Landgrave William IV of Hesse commissioned the construction of this hunting lodge between 1550 and 1557 for his father, Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous.
The castle garden transforms into an open-air venue during Hessian summer holidays, offering music performances and cultural events for the local community.
The castle now houses the district finance office and local court, while its garden remains open to visitors free of charge throughout the year.
A statue of a goose girl stands in front of the former royal stables, referencing the agricultural heritage of Melsungen's early inhabitants.
