Germany Travel Guide - Johannisburg Castle in Aschaffenburg
Take a tour of Johannisburg Castle in Aschaffenburg, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
On the banks of the river Main, in Aschaffenburg, Germany is the Johannisburg Castle.
Rebuilt in the early 17th century after a consuming fire, this geometric red palace is the city's greatest landmark.
The castle is built in a square design, with a tower on every corner.
Just visible over the walls is the keep from the old castle which was destroyed in 1552.
The Johannisburg Castle grounds feature a beautiful garden and peaceful views of the river.
The castle now serves as the home of three museums, a carillon, a restaurant, beautiful chapel, and expansive library.

Johannisburg Castle, Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, Germany
Schloss Johannisburg is a schloss in the town of Aschaffenburg, in Franconia in the state of Bavaria, Germany. It was erected between 1605 and 1614 by the architect Georg Ridinger (de) for Johann Schweikhard von Kronberg, Prince Bishop of Mainz. Until 1803, it was the second residence of the Prince Bishop of Mainz. It is constructed of red sandstone, the typical building material of the Spessart, the hills near Aschaffenburg.
The castle is one of the main attractions of Aschaffenburg and its landmark. Schloss Johannisburg is one of the most important buildings of the Renaissance period in Germany. [1]
Schloss Johannisburg is open to the public and hosts several museums: Staatsgalerie Aschaffenburg, a gallery of paintings (with works by Lucas Cranach the Elder), the Paramentenkammer of the palace chapel (with vestments from the former treasury of Mainz Cathedral), the residential rooms (furnished in Neoclassical style) and the Municipal Palace Museum (arts and handicraft). There is also the world's largest collection of architectural models made from cork, built by court confectioner Carl May and his son after 1792.
