It has been over 500 years that Churburg Castle has been in possession of my family. The castle, originally built in 1259, has evolved from a medieval fortress into a stylish renaissance residence which it largely remains to this day. The inner courtyard, framed by a beautifully painted arcade, the splendid Jakob’s Chamber with its ornately carved ceiling and the Matschersaal with family portraits and artifacts are testimony to Churburg Castle’s impressive history. World-renowned is the Churburg Armory. It is surely fair to describe it as the most significant dynastic armory in the world. A large number of unique, artistically unparalled armors belonging to our ancestors and their soldiers are on display in the armory. The tradition of owning and preserving such a historic building is both an obligation and a privilege. I do not see myself as the owner, rather as a lifelong administrator of a cultural treasure. I hope that you enjoy visiting this site and I look forward to welcoming you to Churburg Castle.

Sincerely
Count Johannes J. Trapp
