Beautiful castle in kronach

Went up to the castle at dusk in December when we were there to the Christmas market. Pictures were hard to get because they was limited light. It was very cold and damp but worth the climb. You could walk up to the wall and...More

Wonderful tour for history buffs

The tour was great, except for the fact that they didn't have an English one, so I was left to interpret for the kids, which is not always ideal. However, we enjoyed viewing the fortifications, the cannons, and the exhibits. Of course the underground passages...More

Never surrender!

This fortress was besieged but never taken. Technically this not a castle but a fortress. Tours unfortunately only in German, but still worth taking as you get to see the inner sanctum and tunnels. A visit supports the citizens of Kronach as they bought the...More

One of the best restored large castles in Europe!

We have visisted many times and there are always new improvements. There are tours and also an art gallery in the castle. The restaurant at the castle is wonderful, both indoor and outdoor seating. Never have we been disappointed.

Closed during visit

I was able to walk around the outside of the castle even though it was closed ( the only reason I rated it a 3). There's hiking trails around the castle for the fit people

Beautiful German Castle

The highlight of our trip was the visit to this old castle in Kronach. The only negative was the long uphill road to get to the castle. Once to the top, we were very glad that we made the trip. We had an excellent guide...More

Stayed in the tower

Stayed in the tower while in town for a wedding. And going in not having any idea of the place (someone from Kronach booked it for us), I was pleasantly suprised about the hotel. The rooms were clean and very nice, breakfast was provided every...More
