Petersberg Citadel
The Petersberg Citadel is a fortress on a hill in the centre of Erfurt, Germany, built from 1665 after the Elector of Mainz had brought the city under his control. It is one of the largest surviving baroque fortresses in central Europe. It was later held by Prussian and, during the Napoleonic period, French garrisons, and served as a barracks into the 20th century.
