Description
Built almost 800 years ago, Braunfels Castle has been the house of Solms-Braunfels in the town of Wetzlar, Germany. Starting in the Knight�s Hall, there is a collection of armor from German and Spanish occupants of the castle over time. Some of the swords and armor is from the Middle Ages. The oldest of the swords is from around 1300 AD.
Continuing through the rest of the castle you are treated to amazing 700 year old tapestries, furnishings from the Baroque and Victorian periods as well as paintings from like none that you will see anywhere else. The castle is still occupied by the noble family that has passed it down from generation to generation.
