Schochwitz castle

The Healing Castle, located in Schochwitz, Germany (17 km from Halle (Saale) in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt) was built in the 12th century. Today it serves as a meditation and healing centre to promote spiritual growth and awareness.

In 2005 the Healing Castle was purchased by Ingrid Straub-Zerfowski and her husband Lord James Welsh, who have converted it into a meditation and spiritual centre for healing.[1] The centre attracts therapists and visionaries from all over the world who give seminars and offers yoga classes every morning and every Wednesday evening. The centre has erected a 9 metre high wooden carving of the Virgin Mary created by the English chainsaw carving artist Matthew Crabb, which is currently the largest wooden carving of her in the world.[2]
