Beichlingen Palace

The castle of Beichlingen lies in a beautiful countryside, surrounded by the wood of the Hohen Schrecke. In 2014, the castle will celebrate its 1000 year of the foundation by the Earls of Beichlingen. In the 14th and 15th century, however, the power of the Earls of Beichlingen decreased and they finally had to sell their castle to the Knight Hans von Werthern in 1519. In the 17th century, the Lords of Werthern rebuilt the castle step by step and transferred it into a castle of Italian Renaissance style.
After the Second World War various educational institutions were in the castle; the “Ingenieurschule für Veterinärmedizin” (1961 – 1992) being the most important one. The Förderverein Schloß Beichlingen e. V. offers guided tours (1.5 h). Often, art exhibitions and concerts are organized, e.g. in The Schloßkapelle or in the Hohen Haus. The castle restaurant and hotel are ready to serve all guests, for instance in wedding celebrations or other celebrations.
