Meersburg Castle, Medieval castle in Meersburg, Germany
The stone fortification rises above Lake Constance with thick defensive walls, a central tower named Dagobert, and 35 furnished medieval rooms.
The castle's earliest documented mention dates to 1113, though its central tower construction likely began during the Merovingian period in the 7th century.
The castle chambers contain exhibits of medieval furniture, weapons, and artifacts that reflect the daily life of nobles and servants through centuries.
The castle museum opens daily from 10 AM to 6:30 PM between April and October, with reduced hours from November through March.
German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff spent her final years in this castle, which remains inhabited while functioning as a public museum.
