Schloss Offenberg, Medieval castle site in Offenberg, Germany
Schloss Offenberg is a medieval castle site in Offenberg, Bavaria, with a three-story baroque building standing on late medieval foundations. The structure sits at an elevation of 346 meters and features decorative stucco elements throughout its facade.
The site was first documented in 1325 as a stronghold of a ministerial family. Between 1688 and 1702, it underwent extensive renovations that transformed it into a baroque residence.
The chapel of Saint George in the north wing was consecrated in 1699 and displays baroque decorative elements that visitors notice when passing through during events. The space continues to serve religious and ceremonial functions for the local community today.
The outer grounds and forecourt are open to visitors who wish to explore the site from outside. The castle now serves as a venue for events, so advance planning helps you choose the best time to visit.
Two preserved moats on the eastern side reveal how the medieval defensive system once protected the site. Stone bridges connecting these moats were built in 1814 and 1834 during later renovations.
