Burg Bodenstein

Burg Bodenstein is a medieval castle above the village of Wintzingerode, today a part of Leinefelde-Worbis in the Eichsfeld district in Thuringia, after which the family of the later lords of the castle named itself. It is the best preserved castle in the Eichsfeld. The hilltop castle lies in the Ohmgebirge in the northern Eichsfeld. In the valley below the castle lie the village of Wintzingerode and the Unstrut-Hahle cycle path. The nearest town is Leinefelde-Worbis.

Today the castle houses a family recreation and meeting centre of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany. Thematic holiday programmes are offered in particular during school holidays and festive seasons. The castle also provides space for cultural events of the Eichsfeld region, such as castle concerts, cabaret evenings and political discussion evenings, as well as overnight accommodation.
