The castle in Forchheim (also called the Kaiserpfalz) was an important city castle of the Bishop of Bamberg in the city of Forchheim in Upper Franconia. The castle was built in the late 14th century. After extensive archaeological and architectural studies, it is one of the best researched structures of this period in Central Europe. Source: Wikipedia

A Frankish royal court and a palace existed in Forchheim from the 9th to the early 11th century (see the chapter on the early history of Forchheim). However, their exact location is not known. In the late 19th century, the location was equated with that of the episcopal city castle and this was also referred to as the Palatinate or Imperial Palace. However, during archaeological investigations during the redevelopment from 1998 to 2004 no remains of an early medieval settlement were found at this point. However, the Palatinate is still seen in the more recent literature before Tillman Kohnert (2008) as a direct predecessor of the episcopal castle. The name Kaiserpfalz, which has been in use for decades, has also been retained and is used as the official name for the castle (Wikipedia).

The castle in Forchheim (also called Kaiserpfalz) was an important city castle of the Bamberg bishop in the city of Forchheim in Bavaria. The castle was built in the late 14th century. According to extensive archaeological and architectural studies, it is one of the best-researched complexes of this time in Central Europe. The castle now houses the Palatinate Museum in the east wing with three special museums (Archaeology Museum of Upper Franconia, City Museum of Forchheim and the Museum of Traditional Costumes in Franconian Switzerland).
