Burg Falkenberg

Burg Falkenberg, Medieval castle in Falkenberg, Germany.

Burg Falkenberg is a castle perched on a granite hilltop above Falkenberg with thick stone walls and multiple levels of stone construction. The fortress also contains modern event spaces alongside its historic structures, serving both as a museum and conference venue.

The fortress was first documented in the 12th century and survived numerous conflicts throughout medieval times before undergoing major restoration in the 20th century. This renovation transformed it into the modern institution it is today.

The residence displays exhibits about the noble family's influence and their involvement in resistance movements during a dark period of history. Visitors can see how their choices shaped the place and its meaning over generations.

The castle is accessible via a traditional bridge or modern stairs along the hillside, making it reachable for visitors with different mobility needs. Guided tours help visitors understand the exhibits and the building's layout better.

The castle was built using locally quarried granite and incorporates hand-crafted glass elements from specialized manufacturers, creating an unusual blend of medieval stone and modern artisan work. This combination of materials tells a story about how the building was restored with both tradition and contemporary technique in mind.
