The castle is really interesting, not too big, with a good atmosphere. There's an audio guide available by a qr code. The views are impressive, and the Bodensee is just magnificent. We were there on Monday, in April. Not too crowded. It's definitely worth visiting if you are interested in historical places.

old medieval castle and the old seat of prince-Bishops. you take the tour and follow the numbers on the wall and you travel in time between multiple stages. you enjoy the sea view and the medieval music. interesting.

It’s really nice to visit a nice museum with long history back to the 10th century. The route is well designed with nice view in the garden. Recommend!

Set aside a morning or afternoon to visit as this place is huge. Using your phone you can access verbal information about the different rooms and history of the castle. Fascinating. The gardens are beautiful and there is a Cafe with indoor and outdoor seating thats not to be missed.

The family thoroughly enjoyed the castle. It is like time traveling back to the medieval times. The boys liked all the weapons. It’s well worth the admission cost.

Burg Meersburg is considered the oldest inhabited castle in Germany and stands as one of the main attractions on Lake Constance. The fortress offers visitors a glimpse into medieval life with its halls, chambers, and historical exhibits. From its towers and terraces, there are also striking views over the lake and the old town below, making it a rewarding stop for history enthusiasts and travelers alike

Meersburg Old Castle (Altes Schloss) is one of the most authentic and atmospheric castles I’ve ever visited. Perched above the charming town of Meersburg, it offers incredible views over Lake Constance and even the Swiss Alps on clear days. The self-guided tour takes you through 30+ fully furnished rooms — including dungeons, knight’s halls, the old kitchen, armory, and the personal quarters of German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The experience feels raw and genuine — unlike many overly restored castles. The castle’s narrow staircases, wooden beams, and thick stone walls transport you right back to medieval times. Informational signs and brochures (in several languages) are helpful, and you can take your time exploring. It’s a short but steep walk through Meersburg’s old town to get there, but it’s worth every step. There’s a cozy café and a small gift shop inside. Not ideal for wheelchairs or strollers due to the structure, but manageable for most. Tickets are around €14, and great value considering the experience. You can also get combo tickets for nearby attractions. Highly recommended for history lovers, families, and anyone wanting to explore a real medieval castle with breathtaking lake views! I just visited last month it was an amazing experience the castle.. it's feel Like in walking in a history hollywood film

Very good experience of the ferry ride to/from Meersburg/Konstanz! The ferry can be taken by people on foot, bicycles, motorbikes, cars, buses and by commercial vehicles too. The experience is really good and one can go up to the deck to enjoy the views of the lake and the nice cool winds! Personally I find the prices a bit too high... It was €22 for 4 people in a kombi car. The Flixbus from Munich to Zurich also takes this ferry. There's a small cafeteria on the deck offering decent coffee and light cakes/snacks.

Nice price, no waiting time for us (we arrived there at around 19:15, onboarded and sailed away immediately, even when the ferry was less than half full), saving time and stunning views on the lake worth it for sure!

OK 👌

A very nice experience for kids as well as for adults. Many ferries meaning you will not wait too long and enjoyable time while crossing the lake. Only the price for a 5 km ride is a bit expensive (EUR 18 for a car with 2 adults and 2 kids), even if I understand the company has expenses.

Ferry from Meersburg to Konstanz.

Very much convenient and quick way to travel between Meers Burg and Konstanz

Traveling on my first Ferry ride. Well cant wait for Sunday's return leg when its day time.

Definitely NOT worth it! Only a few rooms have anything to see, and what can be seen is scarce and unexciting. Additionally, there’s a nasty old lady on the third floor who aggressively asks for your ticket, when there’s no way to enter the property without one! I didn’t see her ask anyone else, so it might be a bit of discrimination on her part because we were speaking in Spanish. This place should be converted into a nice hotel, and that lady should retire to be alone with her bitterness.

the new seat of prince Bishops in the baroque era of Germany. overlooking the sea and has magnificent features especially the entrance stairs and the mirror hall.

Being very honest, for the average person you are not missing much if you skip it. But if you have some extra time in your day, it is nice to see the inside!

Beautiful building located on the ridge. You can talk to the top with a good pair of legs. Take your time otherwise. It is quite a steep road. No need to purchase tickets in advance. Very nice view from the top out toward Lake Constance

It is a great renesonce castle with baroque influence. The location atop of a small hill next to the medival castle overlooking the lake and seeing the whole northern alpes on a clear day make it a hands down recommendation. The restaurant offers top notch quisine for lunch and has a good cake selection for a quick afternoon break. Overall one of the top recommendation if you visit lake constance.

Beautiful castle and fantastic view across the boden see. The audio guide was also appreciated. Be aware, no English tours currently (although the audio guide could be in English).

Beautifully maintained, great frescos in the ceilings, with access also to the splendid chapel, the Schloss is worth visiting if in the area.

small and interesting museum on the history of the flying Zeppelin airship. cool collection of artifacts and parts from different timeline.

A wonderful discovery in Meersburg. All of the exhibits are fascinating as is the video show. It's really obvious that the lady who runs it is deeply passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. Only 5 Euro entry for adults too. It's not the biggest museum in the world but it's a real experience. Recommended.

Small museum that we happened to pass. Really friendly woman on reception who put a documentary on the TV and put it on English. We actually learned a lot from watching it and made the exhibits much more informative. Clearly the exhibits are put together from a local collector. Yes it's small, but the items were well laid in a condensed way. Really enjoyed it.

An interesting little museum. The entire collection was compiled and made available by individual private individuals. The Zeppelin - Museum since 1989, it always offers new, smaller temporary exhibitions. I can only recommend it.

Great collection with original pieces of history, staff is super friendly I loved the experience

Just thinking about my trip in the area in 2022. I really enjoyed visiting the musem. It's just a shame they didn't have space enough to show all the collection. I hope I can go back soon and see more memories of that time and of those journeys!

It’s an interesting museum! 🤗 Definitely worth visiting if you are around here. Highly recommend!

A nice place to enjoy the lake view, with some seating and interesting sculptures to look at.

a welcoming sculpture at the end of the harbour passage. refering to some magical local feature. the surrounding is very awesome.

Best spot for spend some quite and relaxing time in the early morning

Interesting statue combination and great spot to relax and enjoy the view.

Weird one

Very nice place to sit and enjoy the scenery around and sunset

Peter Lenk is an ingenious artist. He presented Franz Anton Mesmer, a legend of Meersburg in the most dramatic light ever. Mesmer was the founder of animal magnetism and performed some hypnotising works with magnets. Hence, the word 'mesmerize' came from him. How interesting.

Had a lovely glass of wine overlooking the vineyards and lake. The location is amazing on a sunny day. They also have a few snacks and cake available. I found their rose wine the best of the selection.

Organic winery - a bit difficult to find - but worth the backroads. Watch out - they close for lunch! And if possible schedule your visit between Wednesday and Saturday - then you can enjoy the terrace and the “Besenwirtschaft” Would love to taste their wines at the #internationalorganicwineaward 😁 Dogs better stay outside!

Delicious wine!!!! 100% recommend stopping by to try on their curated selection and get your favorites. Worth the ride :)

I bought 6 bottles on saurday 27 july. One of the rosé was "bouchonné" so I had to throw it away. Of the 2 red and the 2 white, 3 of the corks came out. No idea why that happened. Not a nice surprice. I e-mailed the company but they did not bother to answer me. It was a warm day but the company seems to be ice cold in their relation to visitors/tourists.

You can try wines. White wines are not outstanding. A red cuvee sauvignon and pinot noir can be recommended.

What a great place! The Aufricht Vineyard is a gem amongst Bodensee Vineyards and caters a great selection of fantastic wines. Service was really really good and everyone was really kind helping us choose the right vines. We even got a tour of the cellar and were able to stay on for an event. Great day in a great place!

Lovely vibes, the meal and wine we had were very good It was nice sitting in the garden and enjoying the green space

A beautiful romantic Stadt awaits you as you enter through this gate, it’s a historical tower dividing the town in lower and upper area. There are many souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes and. Ice cream parlors inside the Stadt.

A beatiful and colorful little town near Bodensee. Worth clearly a visit.

Nice walking in Meersburg

(Translated by Google) The city gate is the icing on the cake of this beautiful city located right on Lake Constance. Be prepared for a large number of tourists. (Original) Miejska brama jest wisienką na torcie tego pięknego miasta położonego nad samym jeziorem bodeńskim. Należy przygotować się na dużą ilość turystów.

(Translated by Google) The Lower Town Gate, built in 1250, is the oldest surviving city gate in Meersburg and was part of the former city fortifications. As with many medieval city gates, it can be assumed that that at that time the back was largely visible for bow and crossbow fire in order to prevent the enemy from entrenching themselves when storming the gate. (Original) Das bereits im Jahr 1250 errichtete Unterstadttor ist das älteste erhaltene Stadttor von Meersburg und war ein Teil der ehemaligen Stadtbefestigung. Wie bei vielen mittelalterlichen Stadttoren ist auch hier davon auszugehen, dass damals die Rückseite für den Beschuss mit Bogen und Armbrust größtenteils einsehbar war um eine Verschanzung des Gegners bei Erstürmung des Tores zu verhindern.

(Translated by Google) The Lower Town Gate in Meersburg – a historic gate that has stood there for centuries, as if it had never intended to be anything else. It welcomes visitors with a majestic mural crown and the look of a building that has seen many summer visitors come and go – preferably with cameras. Passing through it, you sense a touch of the Middle Ages, or perhaps just the gentle breeze from Lake Constance. Once, this was where access to the town was controlled – today, it's mainly used for photography. Like this review? Then please 🩷 (Original) Das Unterstadttor in Meersburg – ein historisches Tor, das seit Jahrhunderten dort steht, als hätte es nie etwas anderes vorgehabt. Es begrüßt Besucher mit einer würdevollen Mauerkrone und dem Blick eines Bauwerks, das schon viele Sommerfrischler kommen und gehen sah – vorzugsweise mit Kamera. Wer hindurchgeht, spürt einen Hauch von Mittelalter, oder vielleicht nur den leichten Luftzug vom Bodensee. Einst kontrollierte man hier den Zugang zur Stadt – heute hauptsächlich das Fotolicht.

(Translated by Google) I like Meersburg with its castle and its nice streets. When the weather is nice you can stroll wonderfully close to the lake. (Original) Ich mag Meersburg mit seiner Burg und seinen netten Gassen .Bei schönen Wetter kann man herrlich nah am See flanieren.

I love discovering wine from another country. Coming from Canada, I had no set expectations. We were first disappointed to find out there was no tastings because of a festival, but then in the store, this incredible gentleman whom I forgot his name but started with a Ü, gave us a tasting with detailed explanations. Everything we tried was awesome, we bought 3 bottles to enjoy very soon! Thanks for the great memories!

A very interesting place. It is a pity that there were no excursions at this time. I'd like to see what's inside the plant.

The place presents itself as the friendliest winery in the entire Germany...I hope it's not true. We were denied wine tasting because we a too big of a group (5 girls) even though just before us a group of 3 people were tasting multiple wines for half an hour.. we were also said that there are too many tourists to give everyone wine to taste (it's not for free by the way) while there was no one waiting behind the doors. So I hope the wine is ok at least.

Good wines and very professional experience thanks to Ricardo. Thank you.

Very good wine collection and represents Meersburg wines elegantly. Also thank you Frau Kaub for good hospitality.

Meersburg or Beersmug... call it anything... lovely place.... amazing views

Visited the Staatsweingut store before the Corona-Lockdown. We received great service and recommendations by very warm and attentive staff.

Not much to say about here sorry. If you are traveling, you could get flix bus at this point.

(Translated by Google) Informative and inspiring, for believers and seekers of all ages – a special place! (Original) Lernreich und inspirierend, für Gläubige und Suchende jeden Alters - ein besonderer Ort!

(Translated by Google) Interesting facts and personal experiences with the Book of Books are convincingly conveyed in this exhibition. It's definitely worth seeing. (Original) Wissenswertes und persönliche Erfahrungen mit dem Buch der Bücher werden in dieser Ausstellung glaubwürdig vermittelt. Unbedingt sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) There were two of us in the Bible Gallery and we really enjoyed it. Starting with the warm welcome and explanations. Then the Bible becomes even more “experienceable” through the various “stations” in the museum. (Original) Wir waren zu zweit in der Bibelgalerie, es hat uns sehr gefallen. Angefangen bei der herzlichen Begrüßung und Erklärungen. Dann wird die Bibel durch die verschiedenen "Stationen " im Museum noch "erlebbarer"

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful and diverse museum. There are many interactive stations. The content of the Bible and its impact on history and the present are brilliantly presented. You also get insights into what life might have been like during the Bible's time. Highly recommended. (Original) Ein sehr schönes und vielfältiges Museum.Es gibt viele interaktive Stationen. Es wird der Inhalt der Bibel und die Wirkung der Bibel auf Geschichte und Gegenwart toll aufgezeigt.Außerdem bekommt man Einblicke wie das Leben zur Zeiten der Bibel ausgesehen haben könnte. Große Empfehlung

(Translated by Google) Very great staff and pleasant tours. Lots to experience and read about. Ms. Blessing in particular can always be seen with a smile on her face and is extremely likeable. In general everything seems very organized and tidy. Even after the third visit, the Bible Gallery is still exciting! Clear recommendation! (Original) Sehr tolle Mitarbeiter und angenehme Führungen. Viel zum Erleben und nachlesen. Besonders Frau Blessing ist immer mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht zu sehen und äußerst sympathisch. Generell wirkt alles sehr organisiert und aufgeräumt. Auch nach dem dritten Besuch ist die Bibelgalerie immer noch spannend! Klare Empfehlung!

(Translated by Google) Yes, it is especially suitable for children, as everything is well explained and painting materials are available (Original) Ja, gerade für Kinder ist es gut geeignet, da alles gut erklärt wird und Malsachen ausliegen

A must visit in Meersburg. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience worth while. You can try different wines at a very reasonable cost and this will be offset if you buy some bottles. We tasted white wines and enjoyed their freshness and vitality. Danke

The person who explains is really kind and all the wine is delicious. You can also taste wine. She also explains her knowledge about wine well.

I'm waited a little bit more, but for general information it's enough. Also you can see some historical movies, to fill different wines' flavours and try some glasses of wine

(edited Nov 2024 to be more clear as feedback to the Vineum response) if you don't understand German it is tough, but it is a nice museum. You get a booklet with some translations, HOWEVER there are many interactive exhibits, eg Videos, hanging art, tasting areas etc... that are ONLY in German and you end up missing out on alot. Make sure you also ask the staff more questions, they are efficient in their dealings with the customers. Make sure you save alot of time before 6pm to do the winetasting (cost money 1.5euro per .1l) Closing time is STRICT be wary (We took too long in the museum trying to match the translation to the piece, and missed alot of the tasting also)

Very interesting exebition of wine history. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Really great museum, but only if you speak German, as nothing is written in English. However if you do speak German I HIGHLY recommend going here!!!

Well done but very short. Probably not worth the price. Staff were very friendly though. All displays are in German.

(Translated by Google) Very great old house with history, great tour. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Sehr tolles altes Haus mit Geschichte, tolle Führung. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

(Translated by Google) Combined with the new Meersburg Castle, both costs €8. Even if you have little contact with the person, it's a beautiful building with a beautiful view of Lake Constance. There are also interactive stations for learning more about the poet. (Original) In Kombination mit dem neuen Schloss Meersburg zahlt man für beides zusammen 8 Euro. Auch wenn man wenig Berührungspunkte mit der Person hat, ist es ein schönes Gebäude mit einer sehr schönen Aussicht auf den Bodensee. Zudem gibt es interaktive Stationen, um sich näher mit der Dichterin zu befassen

(Translated by Google) A beautiful little museum, very lovingly designed. The terrace of the museum café offers a magnificent view. (Original) Wunderschönes kleines Museum, sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Von der Terrasse des Museumscafé's hat man einen herrlichen Ausblick.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful location in the vineyard with a view over Lake Constance. Excellent, small but fine museum in memory of the poet. Highly recommended! (Original) Wunderschöne Lage im Weinberg mit Blick über den Bodensee. Vorzügliches, kleines aber feines Museum zum Andenken an die Dichterin. Sehr empfehlenswert!

(Translated by Google) A small but fine museum about the poet in her former house, the "Fürstenhäusle." Absolutely worth a visit! (Original) Ein kleines, aber feines Museum über die Dichterin in ihrem ehemaligen Haus „Fürstenhäusle“. Absolut sehenswert!

(Translated by Google) A truly beautiful place, lovingly maintained and open to the public (Original) Ein ganz wunderschöner Platz, liebevoll gepflegt und der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht

Turned up and the place was closed. It was meant to be open, according to their website. Knocked, even called (they hung up). Might be nice, but don't go out of your way to see it. Long ferry journey for nothing.

(Translated by Google) Great exhibitions. Often local artists who can definitely keep up with the “big ones”. Always my pleasure... (Original) Tolle Ausstellungen. Oft hiesige Künstler, die auf jeden Fall mit den "Großen " mithalten können. Immer wieder gerne...
