ヘルツォーゲンアウラハの洞窟・トップ20

A beautiful town with the castle as its highlight. The castle is open in the summer from Tuesday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The forecourt and the castle garden are freely accessible. There is an admission fee for the castle itself and the exhibitions. As of 2025, the fee is €7 per person. But it's definitely worth it.

Cadolzburg Castle is an impressive medieval fortress perched on a prominent rocky outcrop above the town of the same name in Bavaria. Its history dates back to the 12th century, and for a long time it was an important base for the burgraves of Nuremberg, later known as the Hohenzollerns. The castle served not only as a defensive structure but also as an administrative center and temporary residence. Today, the castle houses a modern interactive museum called "HerrschaftsZeiten!" (HerrschaftsZeiten!), which vividly conveys the history of the Hohenzollerns in Franconia and Brandenburg.

Behind the castle, a 280-meter-wide and 550-meter-long castle garden was created with an orangery (completed in 1706), Concordia Church (1706; now the Geological Institute), Huguenot fountain, equestrian statue and the now-defunct Hedge Theatre. The first self-contained, baroque courtly building ensemble in Franconia was created here. (Wikipedia)
