Iburg Castle, Castle and Benedictine abbey in Bad Iburg, Germany.
The stone complex combines a medieval fortress with monastic buildings, featuring architectural elements from different construction periods spanning several centuries.
The castle originated in 1070 when Bishop Benno I built new fortifications on earlier ruins, establishing a residence for the Prince-Bishops of Osnabrück.
The Rittersaal inside the castle displays elaborate decorations by Italian artist Andrea Alovisii, representing medieval German nobility and religious power.
Visitors access the castle through guided tours, which include the monastery buildings, royal chambers, and exhibitions about regional history.
Sophia Charlotte of Hanover, who became the first Queen of Prussia, was born within these castle walls in 1668.
