ハーゲンビュハッハの洞窟・トップ17

The exterior is currently being renovated. It's not really worth stopping by at the moment.

The New Palace next to the Old Palace was built by Count Christian Karl von Pückler-Limburg from 1753 onwards.

The place was first mentioned in 1154/57 as "Brunnen" (Brunn) in a document in which the Heilsbronn Monastery exchanged goods in this and other places for goods in other places. In 1311, the monastery sold its goods to Wolfram von Urach. From 1400 to 1458, the castle was owned by the Lords of Seckendorff, then by the Lords of Lüchau. Brunn Castle was burned down in 1409 (and again in 1501). The core of what is now known as the Old Castle dates from 1525 (the castle was damaged in the Peasants' War) and 1553 (also damaged in the Second Margrave War).

Six-axis, two-story, single-wing building with a mansard roof and a three-story corner projection with grooved pilasters. The palace was originally planned as an eleven-axis structure.

Massive structure, presumably the sight alone was intended to demotivate the attacker.

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.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1157, when the bailiff of Kadolzburg, a "Helmericus de Kadoldesburc", agreed to an exchange of goods between the diocese of Würzburg and the Heilsbronn monastery. The place name can be explained as Kadolds Burg (Castle of Kadold).
