The Veste Coburgis an imposing fortress complex that sits on the highest hill in the city.It’s impossible to miss! The original fortress was built around 1200 and the complex gradually expanded from that point onwards. The fortress reached its peak in the 16th century. During that time, Veste Coburg was the home of the Electors of Saxony(altogether...
Ehrenburg Palace was the city residence of the Dukes of Coburg from 1547 to 1918.The facade you see today isn’t the original — it was redone in the Baroque style after a fire broke out in the late 1600’s. Now, I’ve visited a lot of German palaces since moving to Germany, and to be honest I wasn’t expecting Ehrenburg Palace to wildly impress me base...
The Hofgarten is an open park space that lies between Ehrenburg Palace and Veste Coburg. If you choose to walk up to Veste Coburg (which I recommend doing!), you’ll pass through the Hofgarten and will see much of it that way. Otherwise, this would be a great spot to bring a picnic lunch or some snacks from the bakery and rest your feet for a bit. T...
The main market square of Coburg can’t be missed! The square dates back to the 15th century. In the very center of the square, you’ll find a monument to Prince Albert (which I believe Queen Victoria had erected in his honor). On the north side of the square is the Old City Hall (Stadthaus). I didn’t go inside, but the facade of this Later German Re...
While you’re admiring the beautiful architecture surrounding the Hauptmarkt, be sure to pop into the Hofapotheke(Court Apothecary) on the square as well. It’s one of the city’s oldest buildings, and while it’s still an apothecary after so many generations the medicines dispensed here are thankfully ones produced with modern regulations in mind! One...
When considering what to do in Coburg, you can’t miss the Church of St. Maurice! As the oldest church in the city, it’s played a special role in the community for generations. During his 6-month stay at the Veste Coburg in 1530, Martin Luther preached at the Church of St. Maurice. This church is a unique blend of architectural styles; the interior ...
Like most medieval cities, Coburg was once surrounded by a wall for protection from invaders. And, of course, to pass through those impressive walls a city required gates. Coburg had four city gates through which to enter the city, and each of those had an inner gate and an outer gate for maximum protection. Of the original inner city gates, only t...
If you’re short on time when visiting Coburg, I recommend prioritizing Veste Coburg and Ehrenburg Palace above all else. However, if you have more time and want to visit a museum, your options are the Coburg Museum of Natural History or the nearby European Museum of Modern Glass.
Thus far, everything I’ve mentioned on this list of Coburg attractions are things I was able to experience during a day trip to the city.If you’re also planning a day trip, then you likely won’t have time to visit the other castles in the area. However, if this is a return visit to Coburg or you’re traveling through Bavaria in a rental car (lucky y...
