Conjuring 5 to Haunt Koblenz's Fort Asterstein in 2026 Filming
Koblenz is set to become the filming location for Conjuring 5, the latest instalment in The Conjuring franchise. The historic Fort Asterstein will serve as the eerie centrepiece for the movie, which follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Production is expected to begin soon, with night shoots planned around the fortress. The film's story unfolds inside Fort Asterstein, a 19th-century fortress perched on a secluded hilltop. Its long, shadowy corridors and isolated setting convinced the production team to choose it as the primary location. The plot kicks off on April 1, 1979, when strange events begin to unfold within the fort's walls.
Rumours suggest filming could start as early as April 1, 2026, though the exact date remains unconfirmed. Night shoots will play a major role in capturing the film's unsettling atmosphere. Local authorities have warned that temporary road closures may be necessary around the fortress during production. As with previous films in the series, *Conjuring 5* will focus on Ed and Lorraine Warren, real-life paranormal investigators. This time, they face an unknown case in Germany, adding a new chapter to their supernatural encounters.
The production will bring Hollywood crews to Koblenz, putting Fort Asterstein in the spotlight. Night filming and road closures are likely to affect the area while the team works. Once released, the movie will mark the first time The Conjuring franchise has shot a full feature in Germany.
