The stately Cadolzburg castle sits on a hill in the middle of the town of the same name. The first documented mention of it that we know of today dates back to the 12th century. In the following centuries, the complex was repeatedly expanded and extended. In the 14th and 15th centuries, it became the center of power of the Hohenzollerns in Franconia. It survived the Second World War only in ruins and had to be rebuilt. Today it houses the exhibition "Rule Times!" Also take a little time to stroll through the beautiful castle garden.

The oldest of the surviving components of this historic Hohenzollernveste date back to around 1250. At that time, the Zollerischen burgraves of Nuremberg, the Cadolzburg expand their residence. Thereafter, she was to remain a preferred residence of the Franconian Hohenzollern for more than 200 years. Kings and princes, even emperors were welcome guests, there were common hunting parties and "princely merrymaking". The Cadolzburg was also used for diplomatic occasions and political consultations. Around the middle of the 15th century. The Cadolzburg became a secondary residence - but equipped with every comfort of the time! Especially the magnificent development of the "Old Castle" and the impressive "New Castle" testify to this in a remarkable way.

In 1157, "Cadolzburg" becomes tangible for the first time. In the middle of the 13th century Cadolzburg came into the possession of the Hohenzollern burgraves to Nuremberg. The oldest known stone buildings of the castle date from this period, which was developed in the following centuries in a representative manner. When the Hohenzollern came into conflict with the city of Nuremberg, they made the Cadolzburg in 14./15. Century to the center of their rule in Franconia. After the removal of the court, the castle remained until the end of the 18th century an important administrative center of the Markgraftums Brandenburg-Ansbach.
