Womburg stands in Krombach (Landkreis Aschaffenburg), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Womburg was a hilltop castle, now vanished, that once stood on a slope of the Bavarian Spessart, between the hamlets of Schimborn and Mensengesäß, within the municipality of Krombach. Its construction is attributed to the Counts of Rieneck, and the site once offered a clear view over the Mömbris depression and the Kahl valley. No visible remains of the castle survive today, only the name recalls its former presence.

What to know

  • No visible structure of the Womburg remains, the site today is a wooded hillside without any visitor facilities.
  • The name Womburg is frequently confused with the nearby Burg Mömbris, due to a mislocation made by nineteenth-century writers.
  • The Womburg stood roughly 1.5 km from the Burg Hauenstein, another former fortification in the area.
  • There is no visiting information, opening hours or admission fees for this site, since no building remains to visit.
