Weissensee

Weissensee lies in the Thuringian Basin, where broad farmland and gently rolling ground shape this central German setting. The town’s defining historic landmark is Runneburg, a medieval castle above the centre whose origins date to the 12th century. Its surviving walls and towers recall the period when Weissensee was associated with the landgraves of Thuringia. The Church of St Peter and Paul is another enduring feature of the compact townscape. North of Erfurt, Weissensee makes a worthwhile stop for travellers exploring Thuringia’s smaller historic towns and agricultural heartland.
