Thuringian Castles Days at Whitsun (June 6 to 9, 2025)
“Rise up! Rule and People”
In 2025, the Treasure Chamber of Thuringia once again invited visitors to its castles and gardens at Whitsun: from June 6th to 9th, the Thuringian Castles Days were all about social dynamics. Under the motto „Rise up! Rule and People", everything revolved around the changing interplay between power and community.
Lively guided tours, exciting lectures, historical plays and interactive performances brought uprisings, reforms and changes of power to life in an impressive way. Numerous events – from workshops to family-friendly activities – invited visitors to rediscover the traces of princes, citizens and peasants in Thuringia's cultural landscape.

Moments & highlights of the 2025 Castles Days
The Thuringian Castle Days are a program of the Treasure Chamber of Thuringia - a cultural tourism brand in the association of 13 institutions with 20 residences. The aim is to make the cultural heritage of Thuringia's residences visible nationwide and to act as a reliable partner within the state's overall tourism strategy.
The joint brand "Schatzkammer Thüringen" is coordinated under the direction of the Friedenstein Foundation Gotha. As part of "Open Friedenstein!" the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media is providing funding for this and other projects through the sponsorship of the Gotha Foundation.
