Description

The history of the majestic Colmberg Castle extends from the Stauffer Emperors via the robber barons up to Margrave Friederich I. True stories blend in an exciting and fascinating way with mysterious sagas of white ladies and ghosts, which are a must in a castle as old as Colmberg’s.

One of the most important deeds – alongside the reference to two castle damsels, Sophie and Gertrud in 1269 in the council annals of Rothenburg – is a purchasing agreement of 17 July 1318.

In 1415 Friedrich VI. of Hohenzollern becomes Markgrave of Brandenburg.

In 1791 Colmberg falls under Prussian administration.

In 1806 – 1880 the castle becomes the seat of the revenue office of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

In 1927 – 1964 the castle is owned by the last Imperial Consul in Japan.

Since 1964 the Unbehauen family of Colmberg buy the castle and reconstruct it into a comfortable hotel.
