Great festival at Rothenfels Castle: East Palas reopened after renovation!

history meets the present: On Pentecost Sunday, June 8th, the east Palas on the majestic Castle of Rothenfels was reopened. Over 1000 guests celebrated the successful completion of a comprehensive renovation project that took over three years. Organized by the Burg of the Castle, chaired by Claudia Hamelbeck, the event received great encouragement, despite the changeable weather.

The east Palas, the largest part of the castle of the castle, shines in new splendor after the extensive restoration. Thanks to a total funding of 8.6 million euros, provided by the federal government and the Free State of Bavaria, this ambitious project was successfully completed. In his speech, Alexander Hoffmann, member of the Bundestag, praised the impressive progress and the importance of this restoration for regional culture, while Member of the Landtag Thorsten Schwab addressed the challenges of such projects.

The Hanke Brothers provided musical entertainment at 3:30 p.m. with a family concert, followed by an evening concert with the wild wood instrumental band. In addition to the concerts, visitors were also able to participate in tours to the history of the castle or learn more about the newly renovated premises.

Family -friendly activities were another highlight of the day. The versatile program on the entire castle area was supplemented by lectures and various offers that offered all age groups an unforgettable experience. Hambeleck was visibly pleased with the great interest and the lively participation of the visitors in this special day.

culture and visitor magnet Castle Rothenfels

The Rothenfels Castle is not only a historical jewel, but also an important attraction in the region. The positive development of the Bavarian castles and castles can also be seen in the number of visitors. Finance and homeland minister Albert Füracker recently reported that in 2022 more than 3.5 million people visited the Bavarian cultural monuments- almost three times as many as in the previous year. Rothenfels Castle contributes to this trend and is part of a variety of popular sights that Bavaria attracts all year round.

The extensive support of the Bavarian castle administration, which manages over 45 of these historical sites, plays a central role here. The efforts to increase the number of visitors and maintain the cultural wealth of the region are obvious and contribute to the constant attractiveness of these distinctive places.

The castle festival and the reopening of the east palas impressively show how lively and relevant the cultural landscape in Bavaria is. Here history can be experienced and the connection to your own tradition is kept alive. You can find more information in the reports of POW, Burg Rothenfels and and Süddeutsche.
