Schloss Jühnde, Cultural heritage castle in Jühnde, Germany.

The castle features a 29-meter tower called Moshus with cross-ribbed vaults in its lower two floors, displaying medieval construction techniques.

First documented in 960 by Otto I, the castle changed ownership multiple times until 1664 when Baron Otto Grote acquired and reconstructed it from 1668 to 1671.

The castle tower houses the archive of writer Heinrich Sohnrey, established in 1951, preserving literary works connected to regional heritage.

Located 200 meters from the Jühnder Warte stone tower, the castle remains under the stewardship of the Grote family since 1664.

During the Middle Ages, the castle served as a base for robber knights who targeted merchants traveling along the trade route between Münden and Göttingen.
