Kellerei, Michelstadt
Facts and practical information
Michelstadt Castle, often and with a declining tendency also called Kellerei, is a former town castle in Michelstadt in the Odenwald district in Hesse.
The castle originated from a Frankish meierhof, its predecessor building dating back to the 10th century was destroyed in 1307. The current area was originally only the outer castle, the former core castle has not been preserved. Today's complex essentially originates from the reconstruction works of the 14th century as well as various building measures of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The facility was purchased by the city of Michelstadt in 1970, renovated in subsequent years and is now home to the Michelstadt City Museum, among other things. The basement of the warehouse building is occasionally used for cultural events and various markets or as a concert hall during the "Michelstadt Music Night".
