Marburg Castle
Marburg Castle (Landgrafenschloss Marburg) is a hilltop castle in Marburg, Hesse, Germany, that served as the residence of the Landgraves of Hesse and a site of the 1529 Marburg Colloquy. The site today houses a university cultural history museum and event spaces. The complex sits atop Schlossberg and presents a compact group of connected buildings, a prominent clock-tower chapel façade, and a low outer curtain wall.

As it stood in 1529
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on the Schlossberg ridge, the castle presents a compact, rectangular main residential block of warm reddish-brown sandstone with steep slate hipped and gabled roofs punctured by small dormers and corner turrets. A taller central chapel tower with large pointed Gothic windows and a round clock face topped by a lantern rises above the roofline. To the right a separate gabled wing is linked by a double-arched bridge; a continuous low curtain wall and terraced retaining walls step down the hillside.
