“Staying at Burg Hermannstein was an unforgettable experience! This 14th-century castle, lovingly restored by the wonderful owners, Betty and Lee, truly feels like stepping back in time. We stayed in the Rittersaal, which is located in the oldest part of the castle's tower (not the main building). Be prepared for the climb—around 80 stairs—but once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a private, spacious tower all to yourself. It’s perfect for those looking for an authentic medieval experience, complete with a grand fireplace where you can make a fire to warm up the chilly stone walls. It really gives you a feel for what life in a medieval castle was like! The stay includes a simple yet satisfying breakfast with eggs, fresh bread and jam, and a selection of fresh fruit—an ideal way to start the day before exploring the grounds. And there’s plenty to explore! Beyond the main rooms, the castle has rooms filled with fascinating antiquities, like old weapons, furniture, and even a Kerker (dungeon). It’s an incredible treat for history buffs or anyone with a love of old-world charm. This is not a typical hotel stay. With just four rooms to rent, plus the owners' apartment, it feels more like you’re living in a historical monument. You’ll need to leave your room to access the bathroom unless you are staying in the Rittersaal, but that’s part of the experience of staying in an authentic castle setting. And as a bonus, six friendly resident cats roam freely, adding a cozy touch to the grand surroundings. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to return to see the continued renovations. Betty and Lee are bringing this castle back to life, and we’re grateful to have been part of it, even for a short time. If you’re looking for a unique, rustic stay that lets you step directly into history, Burg Hermannstein is a must-visit.”

“Have stayed here many times. Always a pleasure. This time in a luxury room with huge bathroom including both bath tub, very big shower and double wash basins.The pension is in a small old halftimbered building with modern interior. Public parking next to the entrance at modest cost and free from 18H00 to 10H00. Several good restaurants within 10 minutes walk in medieval town centre.”
