High Castle of Füssen, Gothic castle in Füssen, Germany

The High Castle stands on a hill above Füssen, featuring a late Gothic architectural design with painted decorations on the exterior walls.

The construction started in 1291 under Bavarian Duke Ludwig, and Bishop Friedrich II von Zollern completed the redesign between 1489 and 1504.

The castle museum displays Gothic panel paintings and sculptures from the 15th and 16th centuries, including a series depicting Saint Magnus's life.

Visitors can access the castle Tuesday through Sunday from April to October, 11:00 to 17:00, and Friday through Sunday from November to March.

The castle contains the Veitskapelle, which ranks among the highest positioned castle chapels in Germany and serves as a wedding venue.
