    Tips

    June 26, 2025

    The Strahlenburg was built from 1235 onwards by the noble freemen of Strahlenberg on a slope of the Ölberg and above Schriesheim. It was intended to replace the Hirschburg as the family's ancestral seat. While the keep dates back to the 13th century, the palace was probably not built until the 14th century. In 1470, the castle was stormed by Elector Palatinate Frederick I. It was still inhabited until a fire in 1488, after which it began to decline. Today, the Strahlenburg grounds still house the residential and commercial buildings of a restaurant, which is currently not in operation. Its future seems uncertain. As the Strahlenburg is privately owned, it is currently not open to the public.
