Abenberg - Be a knight at last!.
Burgmuseum Abenberg
In the new Abenberg Castle Museum, "1000 years of castle dreams" come to life in an interactive exhibition. The castle is full of secrets just waiting to be discovered.
On the tour through the exhibition, a key opens up many secrets for guests of all ages: In a virtual ancestral gallery, they get to know past and present castle inhabitants, can explore the fascinating history of the castle, experience its connection with the town, the region and the world, listen to medieval sounds and immerse themselves in a bygone era when real knights' tournaments took place at Abenberg Castle around 800 years ago. The dream of "finally being a knight" - here it comes true for knight fans of all ages.
Are you called Stilla, Konrad, Friedrich, Wolfram, Hildegard, Sophia or Adalbert? Then you have one of the first names of the "ancestors" of Abenberg Castle - and thus have free admission to the new castle museum for the entire first museum year 2024. And if you are named after Count Rapoto, you will even receive permanent free admission!
For all "namesakes": the second or third name also counts! Simply show your photo ID at the ticket desk and explore the history of the castle railway with your own museum key.

Rundweg "Von der Burg zur Stadt"
The history of the castle and the town of Abenberg are inextricably linked. The new circular trail "From the castle to the town" takes you on a 15-stop journey through Abenberg's history. Along the way, you can discover an old quarry, the remains of the historic town wall, the town's gates and towers and some unknown corners.
The entire route (approx. 1.5 km) takes around 40 to 50 minutes and is well signposted. You can explore the trail on your own or with a guided tour. Unfortunately, the trail is not completely barrier-free due to the historic castle location. However, all information about the circular route is also available on your mobile phone via the new "BurgAbenberg App". A free flyer with detailed directions is also available at the castle museum and the lace museum.
Guided tours of the circular route take place regularly from March to October on the first Sunday of each month at 11 am. The meeting point is always the castle gate.
