This castle is definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.

Hersbruck Castle now serves as the seat of the district court. Before the year 1000 it was built as a castle to protect the Pegnitz Bridge. In 1360, Emperor Charles IV acquired the property and had a house built for the New Bohemian administrator. 1517 New building of the castle by the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, towers and side wings were built between 1616 and 1622. Beautiful stucco ceilings inside. Next to it is the classicist Fronveste (prison), built between 1838 and 1840.

In 1391 the castle was pledged to Linhard von Henfenfeld by the Wittelsbach dukes, after which other pledge holders and caretakers appeared. In 1419 it was ceded to the brothers Hans, Eberhart and Wilhelm von Mistelbeck, who had claims against Duke Ludwig of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. The handover did not take place because of the Bavarian War. In the Bavarian War between Duke Ludwig of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and his cousins, the Bavarian Dukes of Landshut and Munich, Lichtenstein Castle was conquered and destroyed in June 1421 by Count Palatine Johann von Neumarkt-Neunburg, who was allied with Ludwig's opponents. In the terrain exploration of the imperial city of Nuremberg from 1503 to 1504, in which all castles and fortifications are listed in relation to the Landshut War of Succession that soon followed, Lichtenstein is described as “an old, traditional castle”. An entry in the Salbuch from 1516 also states that Lichtenstein was only a castle stable. The Sulzbach regional court granted the Mistelbeck brothers their right to compensation in 1421 and again in 1422. The castle ruins fell into disrepair; In 1851 the Bavarian state sold it to Paul Willhelm Freiherr Ebner von Eschenbach. Around 1855, in the spirit of the awakening romanticism of castles, he had the pseudo-ruins built on the upper castle using rising masonry and an English landscape garden set up in the area of the lower castle, which, however, also fell into disrepair.[5] Today there is forest around the castle ruins and it is partly overgrown with bushes. Several hiking trails from Pommelsbrunn and the surrounding area lead to the ruins. The medieval remains of Lichtenstein Castle, especially those of the lower castle, are at great risk of decay.

It is believed that a monastery courtyard was built on the site of an old castle. There is a fortified “tower and seat” where nothing is known about when it was built. The only possible builders were the monastery bailiffs, the Sulzbach counts in the 11th or early 12th century, and the Hohenstaufens in the late 12th or early 13th century. After 1504, the Nuremberg lords ordered its demolition. The stones from the tower were used to line the moat. Today the castle houses the Hersbruck District Court. This is a court of ordinary jurisdiction and one of 73 district courts in Bavaria. This is preceded by the Nuremberg-Fürth Regional Court, both of which belong to the district of the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court Source: Wikipedia

Castle with castle square and fountain in Hersbruck. The castle serves as a district court.

very beautiful castle ruins with 2 bars right next to it, The castle tower was locked, but iron stairs lead to very good vantage points

Beautiful castle complex with well-preserved buildings. The courtyard is open all year round. The indoor exhibition can only be visited at certain times or by appointment. It is definitely worth it.
