A medieval castle which is due to the Hohenstaufen dynasty.

This imposing building dominates the whole city. It takes about ten minutes to walk from the old town to the castle. The construction of the castle began in 1150 on the initiative of the Hohenstaufen emperors. In 1299, it became the property of the Princes of Oettingen-Wallerstein. The tour takes the visitor on a discovery of its many towers. The light-coloured facade is dotted with small windows and offers a fantastic view of the valley below. On the programme: the coat of arms, the fortifications, the prison..
