Meersburg Castle
Meersburg Castle (Burg Meersburg or Alte Burg) is a medieval castle on a rocky outcrop above the Lower City of Meersburg on Lake Constance, long used as the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Constance and later a private house and museum. Portions remain inhabited and open to visitors; a Medieval Museum was established there in the 19th century. The central keep, known as the Dagobertturm, is the castle's defining feature.

As it stood in 1520
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a rocky outcrop above Lake Constance, the castle reads as a compact complex of pale, plastered stone ranges and steep red-brown tiled roofs clustered around a tall square keep with a crow-stepped gable. The Dagobertturm’s base shows very large, roughly squared masonry blocks; its upper stages have narrow slit windows. Low curtain walls and short crenellated stretches connect the residential ranges; the castle sits level with the town behind a band of trees and overlooks the colorful lakeside houses below.
