About this property

A beautiful apartment, furnished with great attention to detail. Fully equipped kitchen, terrace with a fantastic view of the Rhine plain. Who doesn't want to spend the night in a castle? In addition, a variety of offers from our experience gastronomy. Our knights' meal, fondue evenings, BBQ and more are particularly popular. v.m

The apartment is particularly popular for weddings. Celebrate into the morning and then fall straight into bed.

Let the unique backdrop of Auerbach Castle and medieval performances take you back in time.
For more than 25 years now, Junker Andreas and his castle ghosts have been organizing rustic knights' feasts, mounted tournaments and spectacular fire magic in the castle ruins. In our castle tavern you can enjoy regional specialties while the mountain road is at your feet.

Lots of space for 6 to 8 people.
From the 7th We charge € 20.00 per person extra.
Cot € 10.00, per dog € 20

We are looking forward to your visit.

Excellent Exchange, even if we had to cancel

Due to Corona restrictions, we weren’t able to stay there. But communication with the managers was perfect. No problem with the cancelled reservation, even got useful info where to find an alternative stay. So I gave them 5 stars for their helpfulness. And we do know the castle, the region around, thus can only recommend the area and the friendly owners.

Wow!

What a fantastic place all of my guests were overwhelmed with the beauty and amenities at the castle apartment. The description of the washer and dryer usage could’ve been slightly more clear, but was made available.. Thank you so much to the property, managers, the owners and the community we would love to come back
