Landgräfliche Burg (Altes Schloss)
Germany, Germany
Landgräfliche Burg, also known as Altes Schloss, primarily refers to historic castles associated with Hessian landgraves, such as the prominent one in Giessen, first mentioned in 1364 as a landgrave's seat that later served as a widow's residence, court, and now houses the Oberhessisches Museum after renovations.
Other notable examples include Marburg's Landgrafenschloss, a Gothic-Renaissance complex begun around 1260 with a grand hall and chapel, and similar fortified residences in Kassel or Alsfeld tied to medieval Hessian nobility.
These structures blend defensive origins with Renaissance expansions, offering museums, panoramic views, and insights into regional history amid parks and old towns.
