Schloss Weilburg, Château in Weilburg, Germany.
The castle features a triangular layout with three round towers connected by protective walls, situated on a hill at 174 meters elevation.
Construction of the present structure started in 1603 and reached completion in 1609, serving as a residence for prince-bishops of Paderborn.
The castle functions as both a museum and event venue, presenting exhibitions that demonstrate the architectural evolution of German noble residences.
Regular guided tours allow visitors to explore the castle rooms, gardens, and courtyards, with detailed information available through the official website.
The castle's position creates a natural fortress, as the Lahn River encircles the rocky hill where the structure stands.
