Old Castle Altensteig

High above the city, the romantic AltensteigThe castle, with its two round towers, known locally as "Heaven" and "Hell," is a picturesque ensemble where time seems to have stood still. Today, the medieval complex houses a lovingly curated museum with exhibits on local history and typical professions of the Northern Black Forest. The castle buildings themselves are the most important historical witnesses and invite visitors to explore and linger.

Special exhibitions are a major draw for visitors, such as the annual Christmas exhibition with its festive atmosphere, and the large "Historical Craftsmen's Courtyard" festival, which alternates annually. The amphitheater in the castle gardens is used throughout the year for numerous cultural events: concerts ranging from classical to rock, theater performances, and film screenings guarantee a special experience against this atmospheric backdrop.
