Description

The history of Eberstein Castle reaches far back into the past and is closely connected with the family of the Margraves of Baden. The castle was built in the 13th century and originally served as a fortress and residence of the rulers.
Over the centuries, the castle was rebuilt and expanded several times. One of the most significant construction phases was in the 18th century, when the architect Friedrich Weinbrenner was commissioned to remodel the castle in the classicist style. Weinbrenner gave the castle its characteristic elegance and created an architectural jewel.
Margrave Berthold of Baden played a special role in the history of the castle. In the 15th century he was the ruler of the region and fell madly in love with a charming woman. However, their love was overshadowed by social conventions and political constraints, and the relationship had to be kept secret. Eberstein Castle became the place of secret meetings of the lovers and the center of a passionate romance, which can still be perceived in the walls today.

The vineyards surrounding the castle are not only a picturesque backdrop, but also a symbol of the love and passion Berthold felt for this place. The warm rays of the late summer sun and the scent of ripe grapes will make you feel the essence of his feelings while enjoying the fine wines.
The botanical splendor of the garden at Eberstein Castle includes a wide range of flowers, shrubs and trees that are lovingly tended. Rose vines snake along the ancient walls, exuding their beguiling fragrance, while colorful flowerbeds catch the eye. The garden is not only a feast for the senses, but also a place of inspiration. 
Currently, Eberstein Castle houses an exclusive hotel that offers guests a luxurious stay in a historic setting. The lovingly restored rooms of the castle create a unique atmosphere for a romantic vacation or special occasions. The hotel’s own restaurant pampers guests with exquisite star cuisine and the Schlossstube, excellently rounded off by fine wines from the surrounding vineyards and around the world.
