Castle Bibra, Medieval castle in Grabfeld, Germany.

Castle Bibra stands on elevated ground in Schmalkalden-Meiningen district, featuring stone walls and architectural elements from different construction periods.

The castle has maintained continuous ownership by the House of Bibra since medieval times, marking it as the longest family-owned castle in Thuringia.

The structure represents the power of the Bibra noble family, who rose from Reichsritter to Reichsfreiherr status in the medieval Franconian region.

The castle sits at coordinates 50.469722°N and 10.44°E, accessible through local hiking trails that connect to neighboring historical sites.

The Bibra family's influence extended to Australia, where Benedict von Bibra's land purchase in 1843 led to naming Bibra Lake in Perth.
