Guided tours for families at Waldburg Castle
Info
Oberschwaben Tourismus
Amtzeller Str. 7, 88289 Waldburg
During opening hours, we offer exciting hands-on, interactive children’s tours several times a day at the Waldburg Castle amusement park.
Children’s tours of Waldburg Castle—never destroyed and thus preserved in its original state. Waldburg Castle is one of the most historically significant castles in Central Europe.
Daily children’s program (closed on Mondays)
Three children’s tours and three adult tours daily at:
11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.; 4 p.m. at the Smart Time rate
Waldburg Castle has a very eventful history that surprises and delights:
- **Marvel at the most important treasure** of the Holy Roman Empire—the only almost completely preserved crown treasure from the Middle Ages. The Imperial Regalia were safely kept at the Waldburg for at least 23 years 800 years ago by Eberhard von Tanne Waldburg. Today we display a precious replica.
- **Immerse yourself in history** at Bauernjörg’s home castle. How did peasants live in the Middle Ages? Why did they rise up in the Peasants’ War of 1525, and what role did the people of Waldburg play in it? If the Peasants’ War of 1525 had been lost, it would have been roughly equivalent to the French Revolution taking place 200 years earlier, according to Peter Blickle, a historian from Memmingen
- **Discover the famous 1507 Map of America**—the first documented mention of the continent, so to speak its “birth certificate,” and now a UNESCO Memory of the World document. A facsimile of the Martin Waldseemüller map is on display at Waldburg Castle; the original is currently housed at the Library of Congress in Washington.
- **Enjoy a breathtaking view** from the highest point in Upper Swabia, a first-order triangulation point. From here, you can see Lake Constance, the Swiss Alps, and all the way to the Zugspitze. The Kingdom of Württemberg was surveyed from the Waldburg in 1818. That is why a work platform was installed on the roof of the Waldburg. Today it is known as our Altane or Belvedere.
Here, you’ll embark on a journey through nearly 1,000 years of German history. Our multimedia guide delights adults, while the puppet theater makes children’s eyes light up.
