Breuberg Castle

Breuberg Castle is located on the castle hill of the town of Breuberg in the Odenwaldkreis in Hesse. Due to its good state of preservation, it is one of the most impressive castle complexes in southern Hesse and the Odenwald. After the extinction of the Lords of Breuberg, the history of the original Hohenstaufen castle was shaped by the shared ownership of various noble families, some of which differed in denominational terms. It formed the centre of the lordship of Breuberg and was used as a residence for a time. Large parts of the substance of this period have been preserved, of which the Gothic and Renaissance buildings are particularly important. The castle is known regionally as a youth hostel as well as the seat and museum of the Breuberg Association, which promotes historical research into the Odenwald.
