Castle.Museums.Bavaria
Fierce dragons, brave knights, art-boasting princes, and ground-breaking inventions — what were the Middle Ages really like? The splendid hilltop castles of the network “Castle.Museums.Bavaria” above the towns of Burghausen, Landshut, Passau, Würzburg and Kronach let you experience how people lived, suffered and fought in the past. You can also simply enjoy the beautiful view and architecture.
A Journey to the Past: Experience Everyday Life at the Castles
What was life like in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance? Slip into a knight's armour, try your luck at jousting, or go on a journey through time in old masonries and mysterious chambers.
A variety of events bring the heyday of knights and noblemen back to life and provide unique insights into everyday life at the castles. Historical figures such as Martin Luther take you on themed tours to explore their history.
Arts and Curiosities from Different Times
Strange, mystical, wondrous things, and items steeped in history — nobles of the past collected all kinds of rarities.
From a delicately carved plum stone to the horn of a unicorn, miracle-working water glasses, and a floating crocodile — these aren't props from a fantasy movie but part of the art collections of Bavarian princes. Collecting these precious treasures was a tradition that visitors still marvel at today. Works by famous artists such as Riemenschneider, Cranach, or Tiepolo, miracles carved in glass, and fascinating historical weapon collections are waiting to be discovered.
