Castle Kochberg, Renaissance castle and museum in Großkochberg, Germany

Castle Kochberg features a five-story main building with white and red Renaissance architecture, surrounded by water channels and extensive gardens.

The castle, first documented in 1274, underwent transformation around 1600 when Georg von Schönfeld commissioned its reconstruction into a multi-winged structure.

The residence of Charlotte von Stein became a meeting place for German writers, with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe frequently visiting between 1775 and 1788.

The castle opens from March to October, offering guided tours through its museum, theater performances, and regional cuisine at the castle restaurant.

The castle houses a classical private theater from the late 18th century, which remains active for opera performances and chamber concerts.
