Michaelsberg Monastery
On Bamberg's tallest hill, Altenburg Castle is one of the town's most popular attractions. Dating back to the early 12th century when it was used as refuge for the townspeople, it later served as the palatial home of Bamberg's bishops. Destroyed in 1553, all that remains of the original medieval structure are parts of the surrounding wall and the 33-meter keep. An important relic form this time is the old iron basket hanging from the tower used to signal neighboring castles up to 20 kilometers away. Rebuilt in the Romantic style, highlights of a visit include its sumptuously furnished rooms and the spectacular views of the old town and the surrounding area.
