The Ehrenburg (Honour Castle) is a castle overlooking the city of Plaue in Thuringia (Germany).

History[edit]

The burg was constructed in 1324 by the Grafen von Schwarzburg.
By the 16th century the burg was no longer in use and began to decay.
In 1856 the first restoration of the walls began.
In 1912 the Burg was sold and converted into an inn.
Today it is a private residence.

Plan[edit]

The building consists of a central tower surrounded by a defensive wall.
