Schloss Kaulsdorf (Saale) stands in Kaulsdorf (Landkreis Saalfeld-Rudolstadt), in Thuringia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Kaulsdorf stands on a rocky spur above the old trade road linking Saalfeld and Nuremberg, just below Schloss Eichicht, in Kaulsdorf, Thuringia. The present building, raised in 1678 on the foundations of an earlier fortified structure, keeps the outline of a T-shaped residential block with a semicircular tower and sections of half-timbering. Traces of a moat, once crossed by a drawbridge, can still be made out around the site. The octagonal half-timbered top of the tower, which now rises 25 metres, was added in the early twentieth century.

  • No opening hours or admission fees are published for visitors.
