history
From 1321 a part of Tüngeda belonged as a fiefdom of the Fulda Monastery to the possession of the Lords of Wangenheim from the neighboring Wangenheim Castle . The other part was owned by the gentlemen von Erffa , it came to the Wangenheimers only in 1580. Tüngeda Castle was built in 1582. Hartmann von Wangenheim was the client. From 1640 Tüngeda belonged as part of the Wangenheim Court to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha , from 1672 to Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg . During the Thirty Years' War the castle was severely damaged and the decay continued afterwards. In 1743 the upper estate in Tüngeda came to the Lords of Uechtritz (Fuga line). In 1771 they also acquired the Untergut. In 1881 Hermann von Krosigk acquired the estate and redesigned the palace in the neo-renaissance style .
Expropriation and turning point
In 1945, shortly after the end of the war, the then owner was expropriated. In 1951 the community received the building. Extensive renovation measures were carried out in 1991 and 2000. The castle was privately owned again until spring 2015, when the long lease had to be reversed. In addition to the castle, the park and church are also worth seeing.
