Burg Landskron

Burg Landskron is a medieval fortress in Oppenheim built with thick stone walls and tall towers rising above the town. The castle complex includes several structures arranged around an inner courtyard with a central ceremonial hall.

The fortress was built in medieval times to control and defend the Oppenheim region. Over centuries it was rebuilt and modified to serve different purposes and changing needs.

The castle hosts weddings and local celebrations, keeping it active in the community's life rather than frozen in the past. This ongoing use gives the place a living quality that connects medieval times with today.

The castle is reachable by foot from Oppenheim using marked paths that lead up from the town. Daytime visits work best when all areas are open and you can move freely through the complex.

Medieval weapons, armor, and helmets are displayed throughout the Kronensaal, the castle's main ceremonial hall. These objects give visitors a direct view of the equipment people actually used in that era.
