Sababurg, Renaissance castle ruin in Hofgeismar, Germany
The stone castle stands at 315 meters elevation in the Reinhardswald forest region, featuring defensive walls and Renaissance architectural elements.
Archbishop of Mainz ordered the construction of Sababurg, initially named Zapfenburg, in 1334 to protect pilgrims traveling to Gottsbüren.
The castle holds regular theater performances in the SabaBurgTheater and presents fairy tale performances related to Sleeping Beauty through the year.
Visitors can access the castle grounds during weekends and public holidays, with opportunities to explore the adjacent wildlife park and forest paths.
The castle functions as Germany's first municipal wedding venue outside traditional town halls, establishing this service in 1987.
