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).

Nice, right next to the castle.

Margrave Albrecht Achilles had the “Old Castle” in Neustadt a.d.Aisch built in 1448 as a hunting lodge, protected by a moat. Access is only possible via the drawbridge. The hexagonal stair tower was only added to the castle later. Anna of Saxony, the wife of Albrecht Achilles, used the castle as a widow's residence. Even after that, it served as a residence for members of the margrave family until 1626. After the completion of the New Castle in 1626, the respective state governors used it as their residence. Today, the castle grounds house the Margrave Museum and the Aischgrund Carp Museum as well as the Children's Play Worlds.

If you have time, you can spend a few educational hours

Very quietly located above Altschauerberg, you can only see a small remnant of the wall and the moat, which seems to be well suited as a mountain bike trail. There is a place to sit a few meters away.
