Veste Coburg is a fortress above the Bavarian town of Coburg. The infobox credits the architect Bodo Ebhardt for an early 20th-century renovation, which the text says reversed 19th-century changes under Charles Edward. The article names no client. The infobox dates the first fortifications to the 10th century, but the text only says Coburg is first documented in 1056 and a chapel on the hill in 1075.
Ernst I converted it into a Gothic Revival residence from 1838 to 1860. The infobox gives renovation spans of 1838 to 1860 and 1906 to 1924, and the text gives no dates for Ebhardt's work. It measures about 443 by 853 feet (135 by 260 m).
Martin Luther took refuge there from April to October 1530. Artillery fire damaged it in 1945. It is open to the public with art, arms and armor collections. The article gives no hours.
