Heldrungen Fortress

Moated Castle Heldrungen

The oldest parts of this 3-winged complex date back to the 12th century. From the southern corner of the castle Kernburg the tower "Müntzerturm" stands out. It was in this tower that the theologist and leader of the peasant revolt of 1525 was kept prisoner and was tortured. The peasant army lost the battle eventually. The Moated Castle Heldrungen has been used as a youth hostel for many years.

Heldrungen Fortress

As a first fortification, a wooden escape castle was presumably built for the inhabitants of the nearby knight estate 'Roter Hof †'. The first documentary mention took place in 1126. The castle was owned by the lords of Heldrungen. Around 1190 a first stone, Romanesque Burganlage was built. Heldrungen Fortress 49
