Blankenhain Castle

Blankenhain Castle (German: Schloss Blankenhain) is a large castle in Blankenhain near Crimmitschau, in the landkreis of Zwickauer Land in Saxony, Germany.

The castle dates back to the 12th century. Half of it burned down in 1661 and was rebuilt in 1699 (some sources say 1700). The castle acquired its current Baroque appearance, with mansard roof and domed towers, in 1765.

Since 1981, the castle and the surrounding land have been developed as an open air museum of agriculture and rural life in central Germany between 1890 and 1990. The museum covers 11 hectares, including 60 buildings.
