You would be hard pressed to find a single district or village in the former duchy which does not - or did not at one time - hold a castle, fortress, manor house or feudal estate. You will find anything from magnificent palaces or fortresses with towers and battlements reminiscent of fairytales, to unassuming manor houses and feudal estates that are now barely recognisable as palaces. Whatever their condition, all have retained their original charm. Anyone keen to feel like a princess or a prince should be sure to visit the following palaces in Coburg.
