Burg Trausnitz in Bavaria
Perched on a hilltop with panoramic views, this hostel offers a unique blend of history and modern comfort.
Trausnitz Castle is a medieval castle situated in Landshut, Bavaria in Germany. It was the home of the Wittelsbach dynasty, and it served as their ducal residence for Lower Bavaria from 1255–1503, and later as the seat of the hereditary rulers of the whole of Bavaria. The castle was founded in 1204 by Duke Ludwig I.
Landshut is the location of the Landshut Wedding, one of the largest historical pageants in Europe, which takes place here every four years. More than 2,000 participants in medieval costumes bring the festival to life and recreate the late Middle Ages. It commemorates the wedding between Hedwig Jagiellon, the daughter of the King of Poland, and Georg, the son of the Duke of Bavaria in Landshut.
At this huge spectacle, everyone gets carried away for a short time by medieval jousting games, festivals, feasts and wedding parades.
