Landgrafenschloss

The Landgrafenschloss (Landgraves' Castle) in Marburg is one of Germany's oldest and best-preserved Gothic secular buildings, perched high above the medieval city. Dating from the 13th century, it served as the residence of the Landgraves of Hesse and is closely connected to the history of St. Elisabeth of Thuringia. Today it houses permanent exhibitions on Marburg's history and the castle's architecture.
