Meersburg Castle

Set aside a morning or afternoon to visit as this place is huge. Using your phone you can access verbal information about the different rooms and history of the castle. Fascinating. The gardens are beautiful and there is a Cafe with indoor and outdoor seating thats not to be missed.

Burg Meersburg is considered the oldest inhabited castle in Germany and stands as one of the main attractions on Lake Constance. The fortress offers visitors a glimpse into medieval life with its halls, chambers, and historical exhibits. From its towers and terraces, there are also striking views over the lake and the old town below, making it a rewarding stop for history enthusiasts and travelers alike

It’s really nice to visit a nice museum with long history back to the 10th century. The route is well designed with nice view in the garden. Recommend!

old medieval castle and the old seat of prince-Bishops. you take the tour and follow the numbers on the wall and you travel in time between multiple stages. you enjoy the sea view and the medieval music. interesting.

The family thoroughly enjoyed the castle. It is like time traveling back to the medieval times. The boys liked all the weapons. It’s well worth the admission cost.

Meersburg Old Castle (Altes Schloss) is one of the most authentic and atmospheric castles I’ve ever visited. Perched above the charming town of Meersburg, it offers incredible views over Lake Constance and even the Swiss Alps on clear days. The self-guided tour takes you through 30+ fully furnished rooms — including dungeons, knight’s halls, the old kitchen, armory, and the personal quarters of German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The experience feels raw and genuine — unlike many overly restored castles. The castle’s narrow staircases, wooden beams, and thick stone walls transport you right back to medieval times. Informational signs and brochures (in several languages) are helpful, and you can take your time exploring. It’s a short but steep walk through Meersburg’s old town to get there, but it’s worth every step. There’s a cozy café and a small gift shop inside. Not ideal for wheelchairs or strollers due to the structure, but manageable for most. Tickets are around €14, and great value considering the experience. You can also get combo tickets for nearby attractions. Highly recommended for history lovers, families, and anyone wanting to explore a real medieval castle with breathtaking lake views! I just visited last month it was an amazing experience the castle.. it's feel Like in walking in a history hollywood film

The castle is really interesting, not too big, with a good atmosphere. There's an audio guide available by a qr code. The views are impressive, and the Bodensee is just magnificent. We were there on Monday, in April. Not too crowded. It's definitely worth visiting if you are interested in historical places.

A very interesting place to visit. I recommend using audio guide on your phone. You can scan the QR codes in different places in the castle and find out its history.
