The Ronneburg lies just east of the centre of the natural area of the Ronneburg Hills , which is named after it. It is characterised by a gently undulating landscape between the Wetterau and the Büdinger Forest , which rises slightly towards the Vogelsberg to the northeast . The castle complex is a hilltop castle on the summit of a striking basalt cone above the Fallbach valley In the valley to the southwest of the castle there is fertile farmland, while the hill to the east (Am Steinkopf, 269 m above sea level ) towers over the Ronneburg and is wooded. Important old roads run through the valley , particularly the Hohe Straße or Reffenstraße , which the castle was used to monitor. The old building occupies the area between the bay window of the new bower to the east, the hall building and the bakery. The core of the building probably dates from the 15th century. A portal on the courtyard side bears the year 1572. On the courtyard side there are only three Renaissance windows, which were probably added later. On the field side with the presumably older masonry, a covered loophole from the middle of the 16th century and a walled-up light niche for a toilet can be seen.

Nice castle with its unique Castle day event in the beginning of October. A lot of medival dressed up people, tents with medival crafts presented, different current time food options, fur, leather and medival style clothes and asessories, knives and swords. Dressed up bands playwing castle music on that time instruments and small performances with jokes are there too to intertain the crowd. The only one thing I wish was there - cooked medival style food you can get instead of common brats with french fries 🍟. I would pay extra and wait in line just to see my food cooked in a big medival pot)) food cooked by dressed up tent owners was cooked for their own group. There were few parking lots open, all for 3 euro.

This is an truly amazing place to visit has such historic presence and beautiful views over surrounding lands . This was my second time visiting this castle and was fortunate to be shown the Christmas market held hear each year in December where everyone dresses up for the occasion and enjoys the medieval festival. They put on a great show hear with food, drinks, products and fire pits scattered around to keep a little warmer. For the kids they have a mini carousel with different seats . The castle itself is special to check out and has cool interactive photo props placed in locations though out . The Christmas event runs from 11am till 8pm And on for each of the 3 Sundays before Christmas .

We really enjoyed Ronneburg Castle, especially during Walpurgisnacht, where witches, fairies, jesters, and many characters from fairy tales and the Middle Ages come to life. There was a market with a variety of goods, all stylized to fit the medieval theme. At the market, you could also taste cherry beer and sausages - there was something for everyone! You could also enter the castle and walk up the stairs, where you could eat onion soup or simply enjoy tea or coffee with cake. There were also many activities for children, such as a carousel, archery, and face painting. The tower was particularly memorable, as it offered a breathtaking view that was worth waiting in line for about 20 minutes.

Waren zum ersten Mal hier. Parkplatz 3€,zum Glück kamen wir ausm Matsch raus, mitten im Feld. Dann Eintritt 30€.... Ist schon eine stolze Summe. Vorallem da man für die Kinder noch mal je 3€ draufzahlt für die Drehmühle und noch ma 2 €für das Pferdekarussel... Das Essen zu überteuert, ob es 8€ Knobibrot war oder was anderes...Hab eine Lammsalami und Wildschwein gekauft, hat gut geschmeckt, die Kartoffelwurst war wie die Pfefferbeißer nicht so mein Geschmack. Wir haben uns für einen Eisshake entschieden, der schmeckte lecker, die Milch frisch👍 Die Musik war passend zum Mittelalter, manche Leut waren passend zum Fest gekleidet, klar kann man sich das mal anschauen, wenn man es nicht kennt, aber jedes Jahr würde ich es nicht besuchen, der Preis ist einfach zu teuer.Wohne 55 km entfernt. Unpassend fand ich auch, das da Leute gebadet haben, wenn die aufstanden, sah man das Unötige.., was man eigentlich nicht sehen sollte und das direkt vor dem Kinderkarussel! Die Burg konnte man besichtigen, waren auch ganz oben aufn Turm. Die Falknerei hatte leider ganzen Tag zu(Samstag). Ein großer Sternabzug, wir sind aus einem Grund hierher gekommen, die Ritterkämpfe standen auf dem Flyer,nachdem ich die Wächter, die ganze Belegschaft durchgefragt hab und keiner mir sagen konnte, wann, wie die Ritterkämpfe beginnen, hat mir schließlich ein Mitarbeiter gesagt, das die an Pfingsten stattfinden und nicht jetzt Oktober bei den Burgfestspielen...na toll, auf den Flyer und der Website waren ganz andere Bilder, Ankündigungen drauf.... Wie gesagt werd jetzt auf Pfingsten warten und dann weiter berichten, ob da die Kämpfe endlich stattfanden. Ja ich war an Pfingsten da und bin begeistert, es hat alles gepasst, die Stimmung, die Reiter/Reiterinnen haben sich klasse geschlagen und man durfte am Ende sogar Bilder machen, der Preis war völlig ok👍statt 3 Sterne, gibt's 4!Bewertung an die Burg geht aus verschiedenen Veranstaltungen hervor. Das Schwertkampfseminar war auch gut, es war was komplett neues und hat Spaß gemacht, die Leut waren auch super locker drauf, die Stimmung war gut👍

What an amazing place to see, The Ronneburg ist a pretty special place to me. As a kid I spent a lot of time here exploring the old castle and it's surroundings. The original part of the Castle was built in the 1300's.The Well house of the Ronneburg ist definitely a visitor favorite. The Well at an original depth of 436 feet, the water table today is about 275 feet. Personally it's hard for me to comprehend how they even built this 100's of years ago without modern machinery. Listen to how long it takes for the water to hit bottom. This should definitely be on the list of must see places.
