Schloss Bad Berleburg

Schloss Bad Berleburg is a Baroque castle with multiple wings that serves as both a residence and museum. The building features grand rooms and exhibition spaces displaying historical objects and art collections from different periods.

The castle was founded as the seat of the Princes of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and has been their home for over 600 years. The building has undergone changes and adaptations over the centuries while maintaining its status as a family residence.

The castle displays collections of hunting equipment, weapons, period clothing, porcelain, and artworks that reflect how the family lived here across different centuries. These objects show the tastes and interests that shaped daily life in a noble residence.

The castle is open from May through October and guided tours take visitors through rooms, chambers, and the chapel. The grounds feature an Orangerie in the upper garden and are accessible for exploring during visiting hours.

The castle sits within extensive forest areas that are part of the estate and historically connected to riding and hunting traditions. These natural spaces form an important part of the overall experience and show how the family shaped their lifestyle.
