Welcome to Plankenstein Castle - Enjoy your break at this historic place of power in the middle of the Textingtal natural region.
With a unique view over Texing, the castle offers a variety of opportunities to immerse yourself in the moment: hikes & walks in the region, breathtaking sunrises & sunsets, an idyllic evening in the castle tavern or the arcade courtyard or by exploring the numerous winding rooms, stairs and niches of the castle.
The space
Historic rooms await you, which have retained their original flair with attention to detail and at the same time meet contemporary comfort.
Castle room 23 is accessed via the impressive spiral staircase on the 2nd floor of the castle. With loving details, it immediately invites you to relax and is a perfect couple's room. With unobstructed views of the Texting Valley and facing east, it is quite possible that the sun will wake you up.
A charming solution is the antique door that hides a clothes rack.
The bathroom makes this room unique. It is the most compact in the entire castle and impresses no less with its modern and tasteful style.
Arrive and enjoy - We look forward to seeing you soon.
HISTORY:
The castle was first mentioned in 1186 and looks back on an eventful history. It was built by “those of Plancinstain,” a powerful noble family. However, it owes its name to the material from which it was built: white limestone, blanc, as they said at the time. From 1800, however, the castle fell more and more and was only renovated in its foundation walls in the 1970s.
Since 2010, the castle has enjoyed a new splendor: With a lot of love for detail, it was brought back to life! Historical castle components and original materials meet stylish contemporary comfort and create a unique feel-good atmosphere.
Guest access
Each guest has a room with a private bathroom. There are currently 5 rooms listed on Airbnb with different amenities and prices. The perfect room is sure to be there for you.
The rest of the castle area is shared: the castle tavern where breakfast is served and there is the possibility for lunch and dinner, the arcade courtyard, the castle shop, a climbing park and the entire outdoor area with forest, the viewing platform and lots of pure nature.
During your stay
The castle is managed by an excellent and loving team and ensures your wonderful stay. Before your arrival, correspondence will take place via Airbnb. From the day of arrival, our staff will be available to assist you on site.
