Schloss Burg an der Wupper Concerts 2024

This is a great place to visit out of the regular tourist hotpots in NRW and be ready to spend at least half a day, since just the walk inside the castle will take around 3 hours. Visiting the place is a great opportunity to have an impression of what a real middle-ages castle was, and albeit this is surely not the most famous castle in Germany, you will still be amazed particularly if you are not from Europe as in my case (keep in mind that a fraction of the building is covered due to restauration works). The background of the castle story, shown in the top of the main tower is told in german with english subtitles.However the museum is in german only. Also in every level down from the top of the tower you have the chance to watch a video explaining more details of the timeline. All of those videos are in german only. Because of this I suggest you visit with a German that can help with translation. After leaving the castle you will have the chance to visit the souvenir shop (where the entry tickets are sold) and have a meal in the restaurants nearby, or a waffle with ice cream. Additionally you can enjoy some leisure walks in the surrounding areas, which include the town itself, forest and rivers. So visiting the Burg Castle and surroundings can turn into a wonderful full-day visit. I totally recommend it if you want to explore a more rural and typical german place out of the typical hotspot for tourists!

(July/23) Sadly we could only see half of the castle due of its remodeling and the cable car was close. The castle is great with an amazing view of the surrounding landscape. Moreover, there are informative texts in English around the castle for you to read about its history.

Wi be nice, once it is finished, sounds funny for a castle from 1060, but renovations ard going on and 90 % of castle covered in scaffolding, but will be wonderful once finished in 2025.

The castle is interesting, but now half of the castle is under renovation

Honestly… nothing to see besides a big construction zone. The museum and the cable car was closed. The castle looked normal with no special features.
