    The place was first mentioned in 1225 as "Heroltsperge", but the document could be a forgery. The first secure document comes from the year 1295. The modifier of the original castle name is the personal name Herolt, Herold.[6] The origins of the place go back to the 11th century. The Amt Heroldsberg served under the emperors for the administration of extensive imperial estates. From 1391 it came into the possession of the Nuremberg patrician family of Geuder von Heroldsberg for more than 400 years. The Geuders built four castles there, which still stand out today together with the former fortified church in the townscape: The Green Castle was built on the site of the original castle, the White Castle next to it in 1471, the Red Castle in 1489 and the Yellow Castle in 1580. Builder of the Red Castle Castle was the councilor and imperial mayor Martin Geuder (1455-1532), a friend of Albrecht Dürer, who made the pen drawing "Das Kirchdorf" during a visit to Heroldsberg in 1510, the oldest pictorial representation of the place, on which the new building can be seen in the foreground and behind it the historic town center with the Green Castle

    Really nice little place where you can get a snack from one of the butchers or bakers. One or the other old house lines the street right through the village.
    Alternatively, you can also bypass the piece.


    Parked cars and suddenly opening car doors (not everyone pays attention to bicycles) can be expected here

      The ice cream parlor at Festplatz is a nice place to take a break.
