Excerpt: Altenstein castle Schloss Altenstein, in Germany, is a palace upon a rocky mountain in Saxe-Meiningen, on the south-western slope of the Thuringian Forest, not far from Eisenach . It was the summer residence of the Dukes of Meiningen, and is surrounded by a 160 hectares (1.6 square kilometres) noble park, which contains, among other objects of interest, a remarkable underground cavern, 500 ft. long, through which flows a large and rapid stream. Boniface, the apostle of the Germans, lived and preached at Altenstein in 724 and built a chapel. The original castle at this place was mentioned in 774. The castle was destroyed many times, rebuilt and reconstructed, later not mainly for defensive use but as manor-house or palace. Parts of the former buildings can still be seen. The current palace was built around 1750 and reconstructed twice. In 1982, it was destroyed by a fire and only the outer walls survived. Since 1984, it has been in the process of being rebuilt, but due to the situation during the German reunification, only the roof and some windows were fixed. The interior is under construction and is expected to be finished in 2010. Nearby is the place where, in 1521, Martin Luther was seized by the order of the elector Frederick the Wise, to be carried off to the Wartburg . An old beech called "Luther's tree," which tradition connected with the reformer, was blown down in 1841, and a small monument now stands in its place. Altenstein is a part of the city of Bad Liebenstein . References (URLs online) Coordinates: 5050 07 N 1021 07 E / ...
