Ufhoven Castle
Die Burg Ufhoven+
Ufhoven Castle, of which only a few wall remains are visible today, was located in the town itself and was the third of the three castles forming the fortifications of the city of Langensalza, the Dryburg. The Lords of Salza had built Dribogk Castle as their seat and bought the Ufhoufe (Thuringian Chronicle). In 1212, Emperor Otto IV besieged the Dryburg of the Lords of Salza in a dispute with the Thuringian Landgrave Hermann I. They surrendered and Gunther von Salza was allowed to keep Ufhoven Castle. He also received the towns of Döllstädt and Ufhoven.
