There is said to have been a settlement here as early as the time of the Celts. At the beginning of the 8th century. The area was taken over by the Frankish kings as a hunting area. Towards the end of the 8th century. A palisade castle was then built, which was taken over by the Hohenstaufens in the 12th century. was expanded into an imperial castle. The castle later came into the possession of the Hohenzollerns, who lived there for several centuries.

The history of the castle probably goes back to the Celts, who are said to have built a fortification in the Carolingian period (8th century). The Hohenzollernburg is one of the best-preserved hilltop castles in Franconia with a hotel and gourmet restaurant. Beautiful inner courtyard that invites you to have coffee or tea. Great view over the Colmberg market and the vastness of the Altmühltal.

The castle is free to visit from the outside and houses a large hotel. From the castle you have beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
