Marienberg Fortress

One of the best strolls in the area : crossing the bridge and leisurely walking up to the fortress in the midst of vineyards. Strongly recommended the castle tour and enjoying the view from the top gardens.

The Marienberg Fortress offers a fantastic view over Würzburg and looks beautiful from the outside. Unfortunately, there is currently a lot of construction work going on, so a large part of the area couldn’t be visited. We only stayed outside and didn’t go inside, so I can’t comment on the interior. The parking fees were quite high, so I would recommend walking up from the old town instead — it’s a nice way to enjoy the scenery!

Little bit of a hike up the hill, so wear good shoes. Beautiful views from the top! Right now the fortress is under going renovations so the only way to get into the fortress right now is to take the guided tour. Only 4 euros, so worth it.

Nice castle on the hill. Amazing panoramic views to Wurcburg city. Nice calm walking trays. There is a bus no.9 going down the hill.

Worth a visit, even while renovations are underway. At the moment the main part of the fortress isn't accessible, but the museum is still well worth the ttrip. If using public transportation, take the #9 line to get as close to the main entrance as possible.

The path to fortress is incredible and the view from top along with Main river view reminded me of Prague and the bridge resembling some what to Charles bridge. The red roofs and architecturally decorated view was splendid. I would definitely go again.

The fortress was unfortunately under reconstruction. We were able to see only the main courtyard and walk along the fortress walls and around the fortress. Very beautiful views of Würzburg!

The best views from the city for nice pictures. It was super crowded. Limited parking spaces. Renovation work in progress when we visited at the end of April 2025. Unfortunately the gardens, which was what I went there for, wasn't recommended by one of the employees since it wasn't fully in bloom.
