Schloss Montabaur

Discover the impressive Schloss Montabaur, which majestically crowns a 321-meter-high castle hill and is the city's landmark! 🏰 The history of this special place dates back to the 10th century. Over the centuries, it has evolved from a medieval fortress into the magnificent Baroque castle that you can admire today.

A real highlight of the complex is the 33-meter-high medieval keep, just waiting for you to discover it. Stroll through the forecourt, marvel at the two-story main building with its four wings enclosing an almost square courtyard, and admire the three-story round towers with their curved roofs.

The elaborate details inside are also fascinating: Be captivated by the ceiling paintings by Lazaro Maria Sanguinetti, which depict allegories of light and personifications of the four elements – air, earth, fire, and water. A visit to Schloss Montabaur is an exciting journey through time and a great way to experience history firsthand!
