Kapfenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schloss Kapfenburg is located on a sprawling ridge above the village of Lauchheim. The strategic location gave the castle, which existed in front of the castle, its name very early (\ "Kapfen \" means view). Over the centuries, the complex was dominated by the architectural style of the Teutonic Order. Constant alterations and additions allowed the castle to grow and become a large, representative, impressive palace complex.

The ascent is on foot or by bike sweaty, but quite to create. At the end you will be compensated with a great view and a very nice facility.
