In Bad Douben, Germany, the medieval castle of Schnaditz was put up for sale for €1. The symbolic price is explained in the emergency situation of the building; His rehabilitation, according to the authorities, will require about 20 million euros.
The castle was probably built in 1237. It guards the knights' hall, two towers and ancient vaults.
City officials hope to find an investor who will save the historic building from destruction.
The buyer will not only have to invest tens of millions of euros, but also take into account the status of the castle as an architectural monument. Each job will have to be coordinated with the relevant departments, and approvals can take months or even years.
