Schloss Eisenberg, Renaissance castle in Eisenberg, Germany.

The castle stands on a hill at 292 meters elevation, featuring both medieval defensive elements and later residential modifications to its structure.

Built between 1363 and 1365, the castle changed ownership multiple times, with the Lobkowicz family acquiring it in 1623 and transforming it into a Baroque palace.

The castle chapel once housed a precious relic known as the Holy Thorn, which was believed to be from Christ's crown of thorns.

Several hiking trails of varying difficulty levels lead to the castle, allowing visitors to explore both the historical structure and surrounding landscape.

During World War II, the castle served as a detention facility for Allied army officers before returning to the Lobkowicz family ownership.
