Burg Colmberg, Medieval castle in Colmberg, Germany.

Burg Colmberg is a medieval castle perched on a hilltop in Upper Franconia, with multiple towers, thick stone walls, and a central courtyard bordered by gardens. The building now functions as a hotel with varying room styles and a restaurant serving regional specialties.

The castle was founded around 1100 and initially served as a residence and power center for Franconian rulers. It later became strategically important under Hohenzollern rule in Bavaria.

The two main halls serve as venues for weddings, conferences, and regional celebrations, giving the castle an active role in local community life. Visitors can experience these spaces firsthand and sense how the place continues to bring people together.

The castle sits on a hilltop with ample parking available for visitors. Guest rooms range from medieval-style accommodations to modern setups, ensuring options for different preferences.

The castle brews its own dark beer called Schwarzer Ritter, available exclusively on the premises. This specialty beverage can only be enjoyed during a visit and is not sold elsewhere.
