Great castle with park. And TODAY for the open day a glimpse of the inside 🙏

The Altenstein Castle was built in 1736 as a residential castle on the foundations of the worn-out Altenstein Castle for the dukes of Meiningen. After numerous changes of ownership it served at the time of the GDR as Handwerkererholungsheim. It was included in the list of monuments in the 1970s and should be opened to visitors along with the garden. In 1982, the work resulted in a catastrophic fire in which the castle burned to the ground. Even before the turnaround began with improper renovations, which quickly came to a halt. After a long construction break, the castle has been renovated since 2010 and is to be restored to its original state. From the outside you can already visit the magnificent building and stroll through the extensive park.

Chinese Tea House on the Hohlen Stein

Highlight • Monument

Here is a small teahouse after the Chinese model on the mountain trail in the park Altenstein. It stands on a ridge, from which you can enjoy a great view of the park and the towns of Schweina and Bad Liebenstein.

Morgentor Plateau Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view towards the Thuringian Rhön, you can also see the Wartburg very well. It's worth getting up early, as there is a lot going on here during the day. Nevertheless, the whole park is well worth seeing and there is always something new to discover.

I would have liked better and clearer directions within the castle park. Otherwise great spacious park. Unfortunately, the castle is currently a construction site.

I finally got around to looking at Altenstein Castle and Park in Bad Liebenstein. It's beautiful there! Old stock of trees and a highlight on the other! Uphill - downhill, caves, rocks and wide views... I didn't really expect that from the word "park"!!
Unfortunately, as today was only a disabled sports loop, I didn't do all the highlights, so …

The dreamlike Altenstein Castle is embedded in a beautiful park with many larger and smaller highlights, here you can't stop being amazed 😀.
On hot days, the old deciduous trees offer great sun protection 🌳😎.
