Mainzer Schloss, Castle complex on Stiftsberg, Heilbad Heiligenstadt, Germany
The three-story sandstone castle features a two-story annex, with outbuildings in half-timbered style and a decorative entrance portal with star design.
The castle was built between 1736 and 1738 under Philipp Karl von Eltz-Kempenich as the residence of the archbishop's governor in Eichsfeld region.
The integrated Saint Laurentius Chapel from 1738 represents the religious importance of the structure within the former Mainz territory.
The castle currently serves as the administrative center for the Eichsfeld district and undergoes renovation works scheduled for completion in 2024.
German writer Theodor Storm worked as a judge in this castle, which survived the devastating city fire of 1739 shortly after its completion.
