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.

Wineries & Local Produce

Meersburg's viticultural tradition is centered around the historic Staatsweingut, the first state-owned winery in Germany, founded in 1802. This selection features the estate's historic cellars and modern production sites alongside independent family wineries like Weingut Krause. Complementing the wine scene are traditional farm shops such as Fohrenberghof and Meersburger Hofladen, which offer regional Lake Constance specialties including seasonal fruits, distilled spirits, and local crafts directly from the producers.
