Schloss Offenberg, Medieval castle site in Offenberg, Germany

The castle features a three-story baroque building with stucco elements, built upon late medieval foundations at an elevation of 346 meters.

First mentioned in 1325, the castle transformed from a ministerial stronghold into a baroque residence through extensive renovations between 1688 and 1702.

The castle chapel of Saint George, consecrated in 1699, presents baroque architecture and maintains its religious significance within the north wing.

The outer grounds and forecourt remain accessible to visitors, while the castle serves as a venue for wedding celebrations and cultural events.

Two preserved moats on the eastern side demonstrate the medieval defensive system, connected by stone bridges constructed in 1814 and 1834.
