History
Two neighboring strongholds were built around 1200. Their owners controlled the crossings and roads on the western border of Thuringia.
The preserved towers, relics of the palace and extensive walls allow you to read the development of the medieval fortification almost like an open book.
Największym walorem jest podwójny układ. Przechodząc między zamkiem wschodnim i zachodnim, można porównywać ich wieże, dziedzińce oraz relikty pałaców i zobaczyć, jak na jednym grzbiecie działały dwie warownie.
Muzeum w wieży mieszkalnej warto zestawić z widokiem na dolinę Werry. Drogi i przeprawy widoczne u podnóża wyjaśniają, dlaczego właśnie tutaj powstał największy zespół podwójnego zamku w Turyngii.
