The foundation
Welcome to the Stiftung Thüringer Schlösser und Gärten
The palaces and gardens, monasteries and castles of Europe offer educational experiences and enjoyable education. Thuringia is part of this rich treasure and offers a particularly dense network of historical monuments – a treasure trove of courtly culture. Opening up the fascinating world of Thuringia’s castles to you and unfolding their history before you is a central task of the Thuringian Palaces and Gardens Foundation.
We look after 31 of the most important cultural monuments in Thuringia. The spectrum ranges from Romanesque monasteries and ruins of once defiant castles to stately Renaissance and Baroque residences and pleasure palaces and secondary residences, often with preserved original interior design in the halls and room sequences. 12 gardens and parks from different eras show that Thuringian princes also measured themselves against European standards in garden design and engaged experienced artists on a grand scale.
We introduce ourselves.

We need your support
Thuringia’s castles and gardens tell stories – quietly, but impressively. We need your support to ensure that they can continue to be experienced in the future. Every contribution helps to preserve our cultural heritage and pass it on to future generations. Help us to keep Thuringia’s history, beauty and identity alive.
