Property details

Immerse yourself in Bavaria’s historic charm with this enchanting castle stay - includes breakfast and a suite option
  • Historic magic: Step into the fairytale magic of Schlosshotel Betzenstein, set within a former castle built in the late 17th century. Sleep beneath centuries-old wooden beams and half-timbered walls and enjoy scenic vistas of Bavaria's countryside in an atmosphere which fuses contemporary comfort with historic wonders. 

  • Gourmet Franconian delights: Dine in the Betzenstube Inn, housed in a meticulously-restored stable where craftsmen once lived and worked, and relish Franconian cuisine at its finest in a setting that exudes rustic charm. The former stable also features a cosy fireplace room with an adjoining wine cellar, offering a perfect retreat to unwind with a glass of the local vintage.

  • Crafted spirits: Discover the castle distillery on the hotel's own enchanting grounds. In the 17th-century tithe barn, you’ll find a boutique fruit distillery producing high-quality spirits from fresh fruits - like cherries, quinces, plums and pears - including several heritage varieties grown onsite. Sample a bottle of fruit brandy and savour the unique taste of the region's artisanal craftsmanship.
