Dating back to the late Middle Ages, Altenburg Castle is a testament to Germany's rich history and architectural heritage. The castle, which is believed to have been constructed around the 13th century, has undergone numerous transformations throughout the centuries. Its current neo-Gothic appearance is the result of extensive renovations carried out in the 19th century. The castle's intricate architecture, with its towering spires, ornate facades, and picturesque courtyards, is a sight to behold.
