Schloss Kronburg, Renaissance castle in Kronburg, Germany
Schloss Kronburg is a Renaissance castle built on a moraine hill overlooking the Iller valley with views toward the Bavarian Alps. The structure combines medieval foundations with architectural elements added over several centuries.
The castle was founded in the 12th century as a fortified military installation and served defensive purposes for the region. The von Vequel-Westernach family acquired it in the 17th century and has maintained it as a private residence since then.
The Knights' Hall displays furnishings and elements from different periods that show how inhabitants lived across the centuries. Visitors can observe these details to understand how daily life evolved within the castle.
Visits are only available for groups of at least 15 people and require advance booking with a family member as guide. Plan your visit during official opening times and check availability before making arrangements.
Each December the castle hosts a winter market where local artisans sell handmade crafts and seasonal products from the region. This event brings a special atmosphere to the location during the colder months.
