Burg Herzberg, Medieval castle in Breitenbach am Herzberg, Germany
Burg Herzberg stands on Hirschberg hill, featuring multiple towers, defensive walls, dungeons, and halls that represent medieval construction techniques.
The castle, constructed in 1280 by the Barons of Dörnberg, served as a defensive stronghold and protected valuable Regalia during periods of regional conflict.
The castle grounds transform into a gathering space for the annual Burg Herzberg Festival, which brings together music enthusiasts from across the region.
Visitors can reach the castle via the B62 road and explore the premises through guided tours that detail its architectural and historical elements.
This structure holds the distinction of being the largest hilltop castle in Hesse, positioned along the historical trade route known as Kurze Hessen.
