Sleeping Beauty Castle Sababurg - the fairytale castle is located in the Reinhardswald Nature Park

Sleeping Beauty Castle Sababurg - an insider tip for fairytale fans and culture enthusiasts. A place that is unique.

One of the special features of the town of Hofgeismar is the Sababurg, which dates back to 1334 and is now also known as Sleeping Beauty Castle Sababurg. 

The state of Hesse has been renovating the Sababurg as owner since 2018. Until it can be fully reopened, extensive renovation measures are still necessary from the building structure to the castle garden. The Sleeping Beauty town of Hofgeismar in the Reinhardswald Nature Park is working together with the State of Hesse to ensure that the enchanted castle complex with its courtyard and sun terrace can be opened even during the extensive renovation work. They are also working on a fairytale event programme. Then, for example, Sleeping Beauty and Prince will stroll through the castle grounds at selected times. 

On the municipal website we will keep you up to date on what you can experience at the Sababurg from April to October. Please inform yourself about the current status of the renovation work and any restrictions before you arrive! www.hofgeismar.de
