Burg Denstedt stands on a rocky spur west of the village of Kromsdorf in Thuringia, a few kilometres northeast of Weimar. Its massive keep, visible from afar along the road coming from Tiefurt, rises above a complex reshaped many times since the Middle Ages. The building as it stands today took shape under the von Gans family in the 16th century, incorporating an older keep, and later passed through several hands, from the von Tangel to the Linker von Lützenwick families. A park crossed by the Erlenbach stream lies at the foot of the structure.
