Rosenberg Fortress, Medieval fortress in Kronach, Germany
The Rosenberg Fortress stands on a hilltop with five large bastions, enclosing 23.6 hectares of fortified grounds above the old town of Kronach.
Built in 1249 as a residence for the Prince-Bishops of Bamberg, the fortress expanded significantly during the 16th century with the addition of defensive walls and bastions.
The Franconian Gallery within the fortress displays regional art collections from the 13th to 16th centuries, representing medieval artistic traditions of Bavaria.
Visitors can access guided tours throughout the fortress complex, exploring the preserved living quarters, dungeons, and defensive structures dating back several centuries.
The fortress features a 45-meter-deep well and a 38-meter-high dungeon tower with an original oak gate from the 13th century.
