Coburg Fortress, Medieval fortress in Coburg, Germany.
Coburg Fortress is a castle on a hilltop above the town of Coburg in Bavaria. It features multiple towers, walls, and courtyards that were expanded over the centuries.
The fortress was founded in the 13th century and served long as protection for the town's people. Martin Luther stayed there in 1530, making the fortress known in Reformation history.
The fortress displays hunting equipment and artwork from the region, reflecting the tastes of those who lived here. You see in the rooms how nobles lived and what objects mattered to them.
The site is reachable on foot from Coburg town center, but leads uphill and takes some time. You should wear good shoes and allow time for the climb.
The fortress houses one of Germany's largest collections of medieval carriages and sleighs. These vehicles offer insight into how people traveled back then.
