Coburg

　　    Coburg is a state-directly-administered city in Bavaria, Germany, located on the northern edge of Bavaria and belonging to the Upper Franconia administrative region. It is also the capital of the district of Coburg. The city is one of the major cities in Bavaria and serves as a center for universities and European cities in northern Bavaria.

　　    Coburg retains a large number of buildings from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, serving as witnesses and representations of history. Among its notable landmarks is Ehrenburg Palace, originally built in 1543 in the Gothic Revival style. A grand wedding was held here in 1894, and the palace now operates as a museum. Coburg is home to Veste Coburg, the second-largest castle still standing in Germany and one of the largest medieval castles in Bavaria. It is also a charming fortress that currently houses three museums. Other attractions include the Coburg Doll Museum, Coburg Town Hall, Callenberg Palace, and St. Augustine Church.
