HEIDELBERGER SCHLOSS
Castles to visit
Read moreHeidelberg Castle is located on a hill above the city of Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg in southwest Germany and was built in the 13th century. The main façade faces north. The castle controlled the Neckar valley, in the middle of which the city of Heidelberg was built. You can get there by taking the funicular to the top of the Königstuhl. Some Gothic-style elements of the building have been preserved, including the chapel, its organ and the altar. The rest of the castle, with its decorative gables and antique-inspired motifs, is in the Renaissance style.
