The castle Bibra is a castle in the village of Bibra (at the castle) of the municipality grave field in Schmalkalden-Meiningen in Thuringia .
history
In the small village of Bibra in the municipality of Grabfeld, there are remains of the small moated castle built by the Lords of Bibra in the 12th century and mentioned in 1119 as "Rubertus de Bybera" in the middle of the district in the northeastern part. The occupation at the time controlled and supported a north-south connection to the Werra valley in the direction of Untermaßfeld and Meiningen . It has a thousand-year history and was laid out in the Franconian style of a Franconian royal court in 1486. In the Peasants' War in 1525 and in the Thirty Years War it was destroyed and rebuilt again and again.
Parts of the outer wall and corner towers tell of the former castle. In one of the remaining, expanded houses, it has housed a small seminar center with 17 beds since 1994. The owner received the Thuringian Monument Protection Prize in 2002 for the restoration of Bibra Castle .
