Weilburg, Renaissance castle town in Limburg-Weilburg, Germany.
The town stretches along both sides of the Lahn River, with its prominent Renaissance castle perched on a limestone ridge above the water.
Weilburg received its first mention as Wilineburch fortress in 906, later becoming the residence of the House of Nassau until the 19th century.
The Weilburg Castle Concerts, established in the Renaissance palace, present classical music performances throughout summer in historical chambers and gardens.
The city maintains a network of walking paths connecting the old town, castle gardens, and surrounding forests, with information boards at main intersections.
A stone bridge from 1359 crosses the Lahn River, featuring an unusual covered walkway that protected pedestrians from weather conditions.
