Erbach Palace, Medieval palace and museum in Erbach im Odenwald, Germany

The Renaissance palace contains a central keep, archive buildings, and multiple wings that house collections of historical artifacts and artworks spanning several centuries.

The original castle structure from the 12th century underwent significant renovations between 1500 and 1530, transforming it into a Renaissance-style residence for the Counts of Erbach.

The palace museum displays marble sculptures, ancient vases, weapons, Dutch paintings, and contains a specialized German Ivory Museum with carved artifacts.

The palace remains an active residence for the Count of Erbach-Erbach while simultaneously functioning as a museum open to visitors throughout the year.

The palace exhibits a restored Schöllenbach Altarpiece from the early 16th century, featuring an uncommon depiction of the Root of Jesse in late Gothic style.
