Schloss Philippsburg, Cultural heritage monument in Braubach, Germany
The Philippsburg Palace features seven wings surrounding three rectangular courtyards, with turrets and stepped roofs at each corner of the structure.
Landgrave Philipp II of Hessen-Rheinfels constructed the palace between 1568 and 1571 as a residence for his wife Anna Elisabeth after Marksburg Castle.
The Europäische Burgeninstitut within the palace maintains a specialized library containing 35,000 books and 130 journals about medieval architecture and history.
The palace houses research facilities and organizes scientific events, lectures, seminars, and excursions focused on medieval castle studies and architectural research.
The Deutsche Burgenvereinigung acquired the palace in 1997, transforming it into an international center for castle research and medieval architectural studies.
