Hohenzollern Castle, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Hohenzollern Castle

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Hohenzollern Castle perches dramatically atop Mount Hohenzollern at 855 meters in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, serving as the ancestral seat of the Hohenzollern dynasty that ruled Prussia and later the German Empire.

The current neo-Gothic structure, built between 1850 and 1867 under King Frederick William IV of Prussia and designed by architect Friedrich August Stüler, draws inspiration from English Gothic Revival and Loire Valley châteaux, replacing earlier medieval fortresses that dated back to the 11th century and fell into ruin.

Featuring bastions, towers like the Emperor's Tower, a U-shaped palace with 140 opulent rooms including the Blue Salon and a library with murals, plus gardens and chapels, it houses Prussian crown jewels, Frederick the Great's belongings, and offers sweeping Swabian Jura views, attracting visitors year-round despite its remote hilltop location.
