The Veste Coburg, or Coburg Fortress, is one of Germany's largest castles. It is situated on a hill above the town of Coburg.
The Veste Coburg dominates the town of Coburg on Bavaria's border with Thuringia. It is located at an altitude of 167 meters above the town. Its size (around 135 meters by 260 meters) makes it one of the largest castles in Germany.
The Veste is open to the public and today houses museums, including a collection of art objects and paintings that belonged to the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a large collection of arms and armor, significant examples of early modern coaches and sleighs, and important collections of prints, drawings and coins.
