Burg Bodenstein stands in Leinefelde-Worbis (Landkreis Eichsfeld), in Thuringia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Bodenstein rises above the village of Wintzingerode, on the slopes of the Ohmgebirge in the northern Eichsfeld. Regarded as the best preserved fortress in this region, it remained in the hands of the same family, the Wintzingerodes, for nearly five centuries. The site now houses a family retreat and meeting centre run by the Evangelical Church in Central Germany, which hosts concerts, cabaret evenings and discussion nights there.

What to know

  • The site now functions as a family retreat and meeting centre, which shapes what independent visitors can actually see.
  • The castle stands on a height in the Ohmgebirge above the village of Wintzingerode, so a sloped walk up should be expected.
  • The Unstrut-Hahle cycle path runs through the valley below, useful for planning a stop by bike.
  • No opening hours, prices or accessibility details are available in the verified facts, so these should be checked in advance.
