Historisches Burgenfest
Aug 24, 2024 - Aug 25, 2024
Manderscheid
Knights, robbers, jugglers and minstrels - a great medieval hustle and bustle! Visit the largest knights' tournament in the region with a great family and children's programme, craft market and fireworks.
Traditionally, knights, squires and colourful folk gather again on the last weekend in August at Manderscheider Niederburg. Come and see the minstrels, jugglers, jugglers and craftsmen demonstrate their skills at the Historic Castle Festival at Niederburg Castle. It's a colourful spectacle that brings the beautiful aspects of the Middle Ages and castle life back to life. Of course, food and drink will be provided.
Interested visitors and castle lovers will gather at the tournament square to get a good view of the combatants. When you turn around, the silhouette of Niederburg Castle towering high into the sky offers an impressive picture of sublime invincibility. The many people looking down on the hustle and bustle look like moving battlements.
We look forward to welcoming all visitors again to the Historic Castle Festival in 2024.
