Construction work for the museum begins – visitors can still enter!
The important Ranis Castle in Thuringia is about to undergo extensive renovation, which will involve an investment of six million euros. These measures, which are scheduled to begin in December, aim to correct the structural deficiencies of the historic gatehouse. In particular, the dilapidated roof and the damage caused by penetrating moisture require extensive work. The gatehouse, an important part of the castle complex, has suffered from improper modifications in the past, which has compromised its stability.
A spokesman for the foundation there said that the renovation work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027. The good news for those interested in culture and tourists: The museum and the castle complex will remain open to visitors throughout the entire construction period. This means that guests can enjoy the historical atmosphere of the castle despite the ongoing work.
Important investments for monument protection
The project is part of the Special Investment Program I (SIP I), in which the federal government and the state of Thuringia are jointly involved. In total, this program provides an impressive 200 million euros to strengthen monument protection and promote the cultural attractiveness of palaces and castles in the region. A large part of this money goes towards structural security and the renovation of roofs and facades, essential aspects for the preservation of these historical buildings.
The construction site will be set up in the coming weeks and scaffolding will be erected around the gatehouse to enable the renovation work to be carried out safely. These historic institutions not only contribute to the culture and history of Thuringia, but are also an attraction for visitors and tourists from the entire region and beyond.
As construction progresses, it will be exciting to see how Ranis Castle will develop. The decision to undertake the renovation shows the commitment to preserving the region's cultural heritage while also keeping it accessible for future generations.
