Trimburg stands in Elfershausen (Landkreis Bad Kissingen), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Trimburg stands on a steep rocky spur above the valley of the Franconian Saale, between Hammelburg and Bad Kissingen. Dating from the 12th century, this half ruined castle bears the scars of a turbulent past, including the damage inflicted during the Peasants' Revolt of 1525. Visitors today can see restored sections, among them a massive vaulted cellar, and the grounds also host local events.

  • Reaching the ruin involves a climbing path up the rocky spur.
  • The Trimburg is maintained and opened by a local association, the Freunde der Trimburg.
  • The site is listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria.
  • Cultural events, including open air theatre in summer, are occasionally held there.
