Vorderburg, Medieval castle in Schlitz, Germany
The Vorderburg stands in the northwestern section of Schlitz, featuring a Romanesque keep and two distinct wings with Renaissance architectural elements.
The Lords of Schlitz obtained the castle as a fief from Fulda Abbey in 1116, after it had belonged to the Counts of Ziegenhain.
The castle houses a local history museum in the west wing, displaying artifacts and documents that reflect the regional heritage of Schlitz.
Visitors can hear the 26-bell carillon performances at 3 PM and 5 PM daily, with the bells playing traditional folk songs from the tower.
The wooden fountain house in the courtyard and late Gothic portal at the garden exit represent specific architectural details from different periods.
