Schloss Braunfels stands in Braunfels (Lahn-Dill-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Adult admission costs 9 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Standing on a basalt cone above the town of Braunfels, this Schloss has belonged to the same princely family for eight centuries and remains their residence today. Starting as a medieval watchtower first recorded in 1246, the building was reshaped repeatedly over time before receiving, in the late 19th century, its neo-Gothic outline of turrets and bay windows. Guided tours lead through the knights' hall and trace the long building history, while a separate museum displays the family's weapons, uniforms, coins and porcelain.
What to know
- The inhabited parts of the castle can only be seen on a guided tour, while the princely family museum can be visited independently.
- The castle is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Hesse.
- Open-air opera performances take place in the castle courtyard during summer, alongside the regular guided tours.
- The guided tour covers several centuries of building history, from the medieval watchtower to the 19th-century neo-Gothic remodeling.
