    Hohenzollern Castle first appeared in documents and writings in 1267. After the first castle was destroyed, a larger and well-fortified castle was built on the same spot in 1454. In the 18th century the fortress was abandoned and fell into ruins. In the 19th century, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia had the ancestral seat of his family rebuilt in its present form, larger and more beautiful than ever before. The castle is still privately owned today, but visitors can visit the castle.

    You can read all information about the castle, the exhibitions and the gastronomy here: burg-hohenzollern.com.

      Visiting this castle is always something special, both in winter and summer.
      The climb is worthwhile and rewarded by the beautiful castle and the view. The castle and its surrounding grounds are open for tours. The castle complex opens at 11 a.m., and last admission is at 4:30 p.m. Further information about dining, admission prices, and much more can be found at

        For me as a child always one of the most beautiful castles. The guides are very interesting, if you are interested in nobility history. Otherwise, a wonderful panoramic view. A dream of a castle with all the gates
