burg meersburg castle

虽然游人稀少，但却是一个非常漂亮的城堡。我是一个下著小雪的冬天去的，整个梅尔斯堡街上一个人也见不到，许多面向游客的餐厅、纪念品商店都关门了，唯独这个城堡还开着。这个城堡里面非常大，游览路径可以逛遍所有角落。

12:30左右到Burg Meersburg Castle，湖边的停车场已停满，只得到小镇里转悠、找了个停车场、€2。在湖边及小镇里步行着小转了一下，买了快餐作为午餐。Burg Meersburg Castle感觉也很不错，奇怪旅游书里没怎么提到它，靠博登湖，也有不少游人，建筑风格和罗滕堡、班贝格城差不多。梅尔斯堡图片：，一家冰激凌店：，小店橱窗：，路上艺人：

7世纪建的很古老的城堡，真有中世纪城堡的情趣。先过桥到城堡，桥下面是相当深的沟，这本身就是很好的防御地势。里面较暗，没有豪华的装饰，就是一般的木头地板、木头天花板，除了一部分房间外，都是白墙，没有豪华的装饰。我们感觉到了真实的中世纪城堡的气氛。各室展示着武器、铠甲、生活用品等。参观中间可以走出小院子，从这儿看到的小镇和博登湖的景色很美丽。

Approaching the castle, we were surrounded by the waterwheel of an adjoining building, the Zeppelin Museum, the outlooks from the perch of the town of Meersburg over Lake Constance and Switzerland. So enjoyable.

The Meersburg castle is like walking into Rapunzel or a medieval mystery. (We Australians don't see castles every day...) A great collection of armory and wonderful views over the Bodensee.

Amazing castle with a fantastic atmosphere. Love the Knights table and the armour. Been twice now and still find it enjoyable.

We were fortunate to be taken to visit the Meersburg Castle by our German friends from Ravensburg.. The castle dates back to the 7th century and is still in an extremely good condition. Fortunately the repairs or maintenance done are not very noticeable and it still retains its historical feeling. It is near the Bodensee. It is well worth a visit by visitors to the area.

This was a fun castle to visit. We have seen many since we have been in Germany and this one was quite unique. So much of it is original - you feel like you are stepping back in time. The room where the famous poet died is fascinating. Although all the signs were is in German, you can buy an English guide for 1 euro that will explain everything. It is well worth a visit if you come to Meersburg.

It was fascinating to visit this historic castle. Entry tickets are purchased at the gift shop next to the castle entrance (English language staff were helpful), and it was definitely worthwhile to buy the English language guide for the self-tour. The castle is definitely atmospheric -- and must not have been a very comfortable place to live! The views of the lake are amazing. There was a guided tour to the top of the tower but it was only available in German. It probably would have been ok to join just for the opportunity to climb to the top and enjoy the views -- it may be worthwhile to explore this option. Highly recommended.

Many levels, good views out over the lake. Make sure you buy a ticket for the whole tour. The moose head needs a refurbishment.

This is an interesting and ancient building, complete with torture chamber and kitchens, etc. It makes you realise why the inhabitants moved OUT and into the new, purpose built schloss just over the road. Its cold, dark, dank, and draughty, so NOT like the castles of Hollywood!Most information is in German, but there are laminated cards in some room in English. Better yet, buy the English translation guide from the shop.Best way to visit, if you are staying in the area is the 3, 5 or 7 day ferry pass, which gives you free entry to both this and the new schloss.Definitely NOT suitable for badly disabled walkers, or wheelchairs, it just can't be done.

Well organized and identified artifacts from the Middle Ages. An excellent example of a Medieval Castle. The pile building were magnificent. We saw them first in 1965.

As you see in other reviews if you don't speak German you may have trouble because all the signs are in German. But don't let that stop you. You can purchase a guide at the gift shop which is also where you buy your tickets. It is only 1 euro and it describes each room of the castle. Great castle for kids because it has lots to look at and see in each room.

If you don't speak German, you're out of luck. The Meersburg Castle, overlooking Lake Constance and Switzerland, is an entertaining place to visit, but don't expect to be informed. Don't confuse this with the more modern castle or palace in the middle of town, dating back to the 16th century. What few signs or explanations the castle has are only in German. You wander around the castle at your own pace. There are no tour guides. Perhaps this is best if traveling with children, for they can explore the rooms, imagining what it was like during medieval times. Some portions of the castle date back to 689 AD, and has the reputation of being the oldest intact castle in Germany. The castle is privately owned, which may explain why it is not better organized for tourists. The most memorable room was the small armory, but it would have been nice to know the names of the various men whose portraits hung about the room. An added attraction are the rooms where poetess Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797-1848) always stayed, and where she died. The castle was owned by her brother-in-law. She is a well known figure in German literature, and both she and the castle are pictured on German currency. The castle is rich in history, but unfortunately it is not shared with the visitor. Do some research before your visit, reading stories about what you're going to see.

Very interesting medieval castle in a lovely setting on Lake Constance. The oldest inhabited castle in Germany, yet well preserved. Unusual, interesting rooms - lovely views of the lake and countryside, in wine country. The whole town is well worth a visit - as indeed is the area.
