Castle Hotels of Germany

Many German castle hotels are operated by families that have owned them for centuries; some even have a prince or baron as your host. German castle hotels are a good value, and they can suit all tastes and budgets.

Before German unification in the 19th century, Germany was composed of a myriad of tiny countries, each with its own ruler and a castle, fortress, or grand manor house built to demonstrate to outsiders that the sovereign living behind the walls was a power to be reckoned with.
In Germany, over 5000 castles remain standing, certainly a testament to the prowess of the medieval builder, or rather the serf who spent the day breaking and carrying the rocks that went into the construction.
