Germany in a castle hotel: a holiday with history

This is what guests particularly appreciate about a castle hotel: Germany shows its historical side there. Explore Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, where Luther threw his inkwell at the devil and the minnesingers fought the famous Singers' War in the Middle Ages. In nearby Weimar, the former equestrian estate Dorotheenhof provides the ideal base for exploring the city in the footsteps of Goethe and Schiller. Since the Middle Ages, Petershagen Castle has watched over the community of the same name on the Weser, first as a fortified castle and later converted into a palace. The history of Gaussig Castle is also interesting. The house, where Saxon King Augustus the Strong was often a guest, was converted into a hotel by a descendant of a previous owner after it had served as a rest home in GDR times. In Kelkheim near Frankfurt am Main, the US forces were billeted at the Rettershof at the same time. The little castle, built in the British Tudor style, is now a chic hotel.
