The Upper Castle, also known as the Old Castle, Old Castle, or Castle in the Mountains, is a hilltop castle on the Kleiner Gaisberg above Heidelberg Castle in Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg. Like Heidelberg Castle, the complex already existed in the High Middle Ages, but was destroyed in 1537 by lightning and an explosion of powder supplies. The site of the castle is now essentially covered with the whey cure.
