Burg Lauenstein, Medieval castle and museum in Ludwigsstadt, Germany
The castle features four corner towers and multiple wings, standing on a hilltop above the town of Ludwigsstadt in northern Bavaria.
The oldest sections of the castle date back to the 12th century, with the main wing constructed between 1551 and 1554 in Renaissance style.
The museum displays collections of armor, weapons, furniture from the 15th to 19th centuries, and specialized exhibits of castle keys and lighting fixtures.
The castle opens from April through October between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and from October through March between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The castle earned the name 'Mantelburg' from a legend where King Conrad used his royal cloak to mark the construction site.
