About
Wellcome to Braunfels Castle! It looks a bit like in a fairy tale, but it is real. Located on the very top of a rock it wellcomes its guests from far. Since centuries its owned by the family, which is still living there. Braunfels is a charming little place with the huge castle right in the middle of it. Braunfels Castle itself offers an attractive variety of sightseeing possibilities, which however are a bit limited in wintertime (Nov.- March). Enjoy your stay in Braunfels!

Many parking facilities (P Schloss).
The castle is well maintained and the interior is still the original one, very rich. The visitor has a good impression how was to live there. Recommended for children passionated of knights and princesses.
It is requested to use stairs to move inside the building.

This is real life history, and art, and hospitality!
Aug 2021
All parts were very satisfactory: homepage, access, welcome, registration, materials, friendliness, competence of guide, details given on the guided tour.
Don't miss to make a break at the romantic cafe.
A guided tour is a must - otherwise you miss the interior and you don't get the full historic picture.
This is really value for money.
Spend a few Euros to buy the booklet - it gives wonderful memories.
And the staff are very open and friendly to children!

The most amazing castle. One of two privately owned castles in Germany. Not to be missed! Artwork, armory, and details were superb.
