Burg Homberg

Burg Homberg is a medieval castle in Homberg (Ohm) and presents itself as a rectangular stone fortress with massive walls and several preserved towers. The structure sits on elevated ground above the Ohm valley and offers a commanding view over the surrounding landscape.

The fortress was founded around 1300 and received its present form through extensive reconstruction work in 1836. These efforts followed major destruction during military conflicts in 1646.

The castle stands today as evidence of medieval building practices and shows how people in this region protected their settlements. Visitors can see how the structure fits into the landscape and what role fortresses played in daily life at that time.

Access to the castle is through An der Schlossmauer street, where parking is available for visitors. The paths around the structure are well-maintained and allow you to explore it from different vantage points.

The walls and towers clearly show different construction phases from various centuries, which visitors can observe while walking around the structure. This visible layering makes the fortress a living textbook of building history.
