Die in Südthüringen nahe der bayerischen Grenze gelegene Burgruine Henneberg zählt zu den bedeutenden Zeugnissen einer längst vergangenen Dynastie. Die Henneberger Grafen prägten im Hoch- und Spätmittelalter nicht nur die Geschichte Südthüringens und Unterfrankens entscheidend, sondern spielten zeitweise auch eine herausragende Rolle in der Reichsgeschichte. Von der im Bauernkrieg 1525 zerstörten Burg blieben nur wenige Gebäudereste erhalten. Archäologische Grabungen sowie die Arbeit von Historikern und Bauforschern haben jedoch wesentlich zur Erhellung des historischen Bestands beigetragen. Sehenswert sind die spätmittelalterliche Ringmauer, der mächtige Bergfried und besonders die Reste der Holzstube, die zu den ältesten Bauten dieser Art auf Burgen im deutschsprachigen Raum zählt.
Altenstein Castle is one of the outstanding structures of historicist architecture in Germany, which served as a summer residence for the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen until 1918. In addition, one of the most important landscape gardens in Germany was created here by skilfully incorporating natural features. The Altenstein-Liebenstein cultivated landscape, which extends far beyond the immediate park and spa facilities, was developed by means of sophisticated garden and architectural design and the interweaving of park and natural landscape areas. Handy, richly illustrated art guide to the cultivated landscape of Altenstein
Bertholdsburg Castle towers up in the center of the small Thuringian city of Schleusingen in the southernmost foothills of the Thuringian Forest. The impressive Renaissance site was named after Berthold VII, the most important member of the House of Henneberg. Situated on a mountain spur, the striking Renaissance site can barely be made out from the northeast, but this impression is misleading with respect to the historical structure of the castle and city. People approaching the location from the southwest can still sense the imposing impression that the high walls and towers of the former center of power of the princely Counts of Henneberg once made on its visitors. Today, Bertholdsburg Castle houses the Naturhistorische Museum.
