The Castle

...with Museum

An ancestral seat with fairytale charm, beautifully situated in the Wolfach Valley, this castle provided Ortenburg with its name ('Burg' being German for 'fortified castle'). A stylishly historical atmosphere, a museum which is worth a visit, the castle chapel with a magnificent coffered wooden ceiling from 1628 and numerous events ensure that the stately Renaissance building is still full of life today.
