Felsburg, Medieval castle in Felsberg, Germany
The Felsburg castle rises 30 meters above a basalt cone, forming a prominent landmark in the North Hessian region near Fritzlar.
Built in 1060, the fortress protected trade routes along the Eder River and served as residence for the counts of Felsberg until 1286.
The castle grounds contain a stage that hosts regional performances, connecting the historical structure with present-day community activities.
Visitors can explore the donjon, courtyard, and surrounding paths during opening hours, with parking available behind the castle structure.
Landgrave Louis I invited alchemist Klaus von Urbach to conduct experiments at the castle in attempts to transform metals into gold.
