To make a day of it
Burg Waldsee stands in Bad Waldsee (Landkreis Ravensburg), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 11th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Burg Waldsee stands in Bad Waldsee, still ringed by a water channel tracing its old moat, close to the town centre. Its origins go back to the 11th century, though the building seen today took its current form from 1745 onward, built upon a Renaissance structure raised around 1550 by the Waldburg family. The main façade is marked by a gable rising the full height of the roof, bearing the Waldburg coat of arms and a clock. Since the family stopped living there at the end of the 20th century, the upper floors have been divided into commercial spaces and are also rented out for private events.
