Burg Dotternhausen, Medieval castle and stately home in Dotternhausen, Germany.
The castle consists of a two-story structure with a saddle roof and crenellated gable, situated at 645 meters above sea level in northeast Dotternhausen.
The initial construction dates to the early 12th century, with significant modifications made by Hans von Stotzingen in 1527 and subsequent renovations in 1860.
Friedrich von Cotta, who acquired the castle in 1814, maintained connections with notable writers including Goethe, Schiller, Humboldt, and Herder.
The castle remains under private ownership, limiting visitor access to exterior views, with an English-style park extending between the castle wall and Katzenbach stream.
The property transformed from a medieval fortress to a noble residence, reflecting architectural evolution through its conversion into the Cotta'sches Schloss.
