Octagon House/Marstall

Highlight • Historical Site

Located in the castle park, it was built in the early 1700s and used as a large garden pavilion and carousel house. Inside there is said to have been a large carousel with wooden horses, which was powered by real horses in the basement. Today, concerts and other events take place there and the house can also be rented for private parties and events.

Sondershausen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle is beautifully situated on a mountain spur above the town, but is still easy to reach on a tour of the town. In addition to the actual castle, the stables and coach house as well as the octagonal house are also worth seeing. Together with the park, they form a successful overall composition.

Alte Wache — the Old Guardhouse at Sondershausen Castle

Highlight • Monument

In 1839 the new castle staircase was inaugurated. The design came from C. Scheppig, a student of Schinkel. The old guard stands in the middle in front of the 10m high castle wall, on the left the large staircase, on the right the castle driveway. Today the tourist information is housed in the old guard.

Trinitatis Church Sondershausen

Highlight • Religious Site

In addition to the castle, the Trinity Church is undoubtedly the city's outstanding building. It impresses with its baroque equipment. Worth seeing are the lodge, which reminds of a ship's hatch of the 17th century and the organ.
