Bad Homburg Castle, Baroque castle in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany
The castle rises above the town with a medieval keep tower and features extensive gardens that combine both Baroque and English landscape styles throughout the grounds.
The structure gained prominence when it transformed from a landgrave residence into the summer residence of the German imperial family during the late nineteenth century.
The palace contains original furnishings and decorations from the German imperial period, including the landgraves' dining room with Roman-influenced wall decorations.
The castle operates as a museum under the management of the State Palaces and Gardens of Hesse, offering guided tours and educational programs about regional history.
A Lebanese cedar tree planted in 1820 stands in the castle gardens, marking the connection to Landgravine Elisabeth's British heritage.
