Burg Wahrberg, Medieval castle in Aurach, Germany
Burg Wahrberg is a medieval fortress in Middle Franconia perched at about 490 meters elevation with encircling walls and moats forming its defense system. The estate displays 13th-century structures and now serves as an event venue and lodging facility.
The castle first appeared in written records in 1258 when Ulrich von Wahrberg surrendered the estate to his feudal superior, Count Ludwig von Oettingen. This transfer marked a turning point in the settlement's governance and development.
The castle operates as a seminar and conference venue, blending its medieval past with contemporary educational activities. Visitors find a place where historic walls host modern gatherings and professional meetings.
The estate offers various rooms ranging from single accommodations to shared dormitories alongside seminar spaces of different sizes for events and gatherings. Visitors planning extended stays should inquire about all available facilities in advance.
Since 1979 the estate has operated an organic farm emphasizing grain production and horse breeding on its surrounding lands. This combination of historic site and working agricultural operation gives the place a distinctive character.
