Liebenstein Castle

Liebenstein Castle stands on a hilltop, featuring stone walls, defensive towers, and architectural elements characteristic of 13th-century German fortifications.

The castle served multiple noble families simultaneously as a Ganerbenburg from 1340, with ten different groups sharing the residential spaces within its walls.

The structure maintains its medieval character through preserved architectural details, providing insights into the defensive strategies of German castles.

Visitors can explore the original Ganerben buildings within the castle complex while learning about medieval construction techniques and living arrangements.

The castle operated under an unusual shared living arrangement where several noble families resided together due to inheritance distributions.
