Türkenhof Castle (Oppurg)
In Oppurg, Thuringia, Türkenhof Castle is a structure with origins in a medieval fortification.
History+
The construction of Türkenhof took place in 1545 by Hans von Brandenstein. He had the castle built after his return from Turkish captivity, which gave the estate its name. Previously, a water-protected fortification, likely a medieval manor house, stood on the same site, and its remnants were integrated into the current building.
