About Schloss Drachenburg Castle
It is hard to believe that this impressive castle was built in only 2 years, between 1882 and 1884. It was built by Baron Stephan von Sarter who intended to use it as his summer residence but unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy it. After his death, the castle was used for different purposes - it was made into a Christian boy’s school, than an elite Nazi school and after the WWII as a railroad training center. Paul Spinat, an eccentric businessman, saved it from demolition by purchasing the estate in 1971. Now Schloss Drachenburg Castle is a Museum that reveals many interesting things about the castle’s past. Visitors can explore the historical noble rooms and permanent exhibitions within the palace. The castle features a lovely bistro and a shop with souvenirs, home decor pieces and books.
