Meersburg Essentials

Meersburg is defined by the architectural contrast between the medieval Alte Burg, Germany’s oldest inhabited castle, and the 18th-century Baroque Neues Schloss. This selection covers the town's most significant landmarks, including the Obertor city gate, the literary museum at Fürstenhäusle, and the Zeppelinmuseum. The town’s viticultural heritage is represented by the Staatsweingut, while elevated viewpoints like the Schlossterrasse and Känzele offer panoramic vistas across Lake Constance toward the Swiss Alps.
