Marburg Castle, Medieval castle on Schlossberg hill in Marburg, Germany.

The Marburger Schloss stands at 287 meters above sea level, featuring fortifications, stone walls, and architectural elements from Gothic and Renaissance periods.

Built in the 11th century, the castle gained importance as the first residence of the Landgraviate of Hesse within the Holy Roman Empire.

The castle houses the Marburger University Museum of Cultural History, displaying exhibitions about regional heritage in the Wilhelmsbau section since 1981.

Visitors can access the castle Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours from April to October between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The Marburg Colloquy of 1529, a crucial Protestant Reformation meeting between Martin Luther and other reformers, took place within these castle walls.
