Built before 1000 as a castle to protect the Pegnitz Bridge. In 1360, Emperor Charles IV bought the land and had a house built for the New Bohemian administrator. In 1557 the old walls were laid in and a new official castle was built for the Nuremberg keeper. In 1616 it was raised and expanded. Since then it has remained almost unchanged in its structural substance. Magnificent stucco ceilings have been preserved inside. Instead of a tenth barn, a prison (Fronfeste) was built on the east side of the castle courtyard in 1840. It was the seat of the caretaker, district office and district office - today it is the district court.

It is believed that a monastery courtyard was built on the site of an old castle. There is a fortified “tower and seat” where nothing is known about when it was built.

The only possible builders were the monastery bailiffs, the Sulzbach counts in the 11th or early 12th century, and the Hohenstaufens in the late 12th or early 13th century. After 1504, the Nuremberg lords ordered its demolition. The stones from the tower were used to line the moat.

Today the castle houses the Hersbruck District Court. This is a court of ordinary jurisdiction and one of 73 district courts in Bavaria. This is preceded by the Nuremberg-Fürth Regional Court, both of which belong to the district of the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court
