The Margrave's Castle is a Renaissance building with a fascinating heritage. Acquired in 1588 by Margrave Jakob III, it became the site of the Emmendingen Religious Colloquy and later the official residence of the bailiffs.

Located just steps from the old town, the castle seamlessly blends historical architecture with modern culture.
