Availability & Prices
  • Schloss Weitenburg Castle Hotel near Stuttgart, and the lovely old university city of Tübingen, Germany, has a history going back nearly a thousand years, a Michelin Star awarded restaurant and a stunning setting overlooking the Neckar Valley between the Black Forest and the Swabian Alps.

    ACCOMMODATION:

    They have a selection of thirty single and double rooms with a mixture of rustic traditional and sleek contemporary styles. We imagine most of you would prefer the historical rooms which have some lovely touches, with four poster beds, and some choice antique furniture and art pieces. Check them out on the booking page here.

    The different style rooms are not listed separately on the booking page though so if you want to be sure of getting a historical room, write a request on the after-booking form.

    The rest of the hotel is suitably old style, lavishly decorated and with lots of historical features still intact. It is a delightfully atmospheric place and really feels like a journey back in time.

    FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO:

    The restaurant at Schloss Weitenburg is surprisingly unknown by foreign tourists in this part of Germany. It first opened its doors in 1954 and is still one of the finest restaurants around with now a Michelin Star to its name.

    It does creative and stylish takes on local, traditional Swabian cuisine (which includes a lot of game meat) in the lovely old dining hall, or on the terrace with tremendous views over the Neckar Valley.

    Its wine list has a nice selection of local fine wines too mainly from Württemberg and Baden, and the breakfast, included in the room rate, is a generous, fresh feast.

    One of the most beautiful golf courses in Southern Germany, Golf Course Castle Weitenburg, is just down the hill with guests being granted discounted access.

    There is much natural beauty in this area with many lovely hiking trails and forest walks around the surrounding hills and you can also explore the famous Neckar River by boat or canoe.

    A LITTLE HISTORY:

    Weitenburg Castle was first mentioned way back in 1062 in documents discovered at the Hirsau Monastery in the Black Forest. The present building dates from later times though, starting from 1583 when Jakob von Ehningen built the sturdy fortress building of the castle, much of which is still in evidence today in the enormous walls and staircase gables.

    In 1681 the owner of the time, Jakob Christoph Rassler, was made a Baron by Emperor Leopold I of Habsburg, granting him, and all his descendants at the castle, the title of Baron or Baroness von Gamerschwang. Slightly more colloquially they also become known as the Barons and Baronesses Von Rassler, with the family still holding the same title, and ownership of the castle, today.

    In 1730 much work was done on the the castle including the removal of the moat, making it less of a defensive fortress and more of a manor house type residence. More was to follow in 1869 when the Baroque style south wing and the old chapel were torn down and replaced by a Neo-Gothic style construction.

    Up to that point Weitenburg had always been a private residence but in 1954 Baron Max-Richard von Rassler opened first the restaurant, then the hotel, to paying customers. Much success followed for both enterprises and to this day it remains in the hands of the von Rassler family, with Baron Max-Richard’s son, Baron Max-Richard von Rassler (Jr.), now representing the family in its 9th generation of ownership.

    REVIEWS:

    “Absolutely beautiful place. Honestly the pictures do not do it justice. We were wondering if it would be tacky or authentic and it was definitely the latter. Deco was sumptuous. Room was plush and luxurious for a steal of a price. Michelin star restaurant we didn’t even know about. Surrounded by beautiful countryside. This place was like a dream….”

    “Spectacular views in a beautiful, historical setting. The rooms were lovely, and the dinner at the restaurant was the best we had on our two-week European vacation….”

    Germany
    Nestling in Germany’s Black Forest and near to both Baden-Baden and Karlsruhe, Schloss Eberstein is a medieval era stately home & castle surrounded by acres of its own vineyards. It is a a place to relax and be pampered and its Michelin Star winning food has gained a terrific reputation within Germany. It also offers cooking classes, and so is quite the place for foodies. The setting is suitably gorgeous, the words fairytale-like immediately come to mind, with the castle sitting on a green hill overlooking the little town of Gernsbach, the Murg Valley and the Black Forest. THE ACCOMMODATION: Schloss Eberstein is a luxury hotel and you can certainly expect the highest levels of service and comfort. They have a choice of nicely furnished and decorated rooms; doubles and singles, all with private bathroom, minibar, WiFi, TV and seating. It must be noted that the accommodation is not in the castle itself but in the adjacent manor house. Both are impressive structures though and though the rooms are relatively modern is a general old world atmosphere throughout the hotel.

    Stromburg Castle

    Address: 1, Kirchgasse, Schindeldorf, Landkreis Bad Kreuznach

    Germany
    If food, wine, history and romance are important factors in choosing a hotel, but you prefer the modern over the rustic, then Stromburg Castle near the Hunsrück mountains and the River Rhine is a solid choice. It is owned by one of Germany’s most famous TV chefs, the Michelin Star award winning Johann Lafer and is something of a place of pilgrimage for food lovers in the north west of the country. The castle, which dates back to the 11th century is located above the tiny village of Stromberg, at the edge of the mountains, and has sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. It is a boutique hotel with a small number of modern, contemporary style rooms, and a classy, refined atmosphere throughout. THE ACCOMMODATION: There are only 14, very sleek, rooms and suites at Stromburg and so booking ahead is well advised. The style of the rooms is best described as contemporary, minimalist chic so if you want the feeling of waking up in the 16th century then this isn’t the place for you. They have all the comfort and facilities (smart TVs, ipod docks, espresso machines etc.)  of modern luxury hotel rooms but transplanted into a medieval castle. READ MORE

    Most Famous Former Guests: Empress Victoria of Germany (& Queen of Prussia), U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower. In the lovely old spa town of Kronberg, and conveniently near Frankfurt Airport, Germany, Schlosshotel Kronberg is a beautifully evocative building, both inside and out. Though only dating back about 130 years it has plenty of 19th & 20th century historical intrigue and big connections to both the Prussian and British Royal Families (see the history section below). On the subject of the latter – Schlosshotel Kronberg was recently chosen to double for Sandringham House in the upcoming film Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart and based upon the life of Princess Diana. It is these days a top of the range 5 Star Hotel, undoubtedly one of the best in Germany, with tremendous facilities including an 18 hole golf course, a fantastic fine dining restaurant, a beauty salon and beautifully atmospheric old English style gardens. The interiors are resplendent with an amazing array of antiques and art pieces; treasures such as original paintings by Titian, Rubens and Gainsborough, and the whole experience is one of tremendous grandeur and opulence.
