Schlossruine Gehren

Manor in Ilmenau, Germany

Schloss Gehren was a castle in the town of Gehren, today a district of Ilmenau in the Ilm-Kreis of Thuringia, Germany. Originating as a medieval water castle (Wasserburg), it was rebuilt as a Renaissance residence and served from the 17th century as a hunting lodge and summer seat of the Counts and later Princes of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. Prince Günther XLIII used it as his main residence between 1720 and 1740. After a major fire on 11 September 1933 the buildings were largely demolished, and today only fragments of the perimeter walls survive within the surrounding Schlosspark.
