Horneck Castle, Medieval castle in Gundelsheim, Germany
Located above the Neckar River, Horneck Castle exhibits medieval fortification elements with strong stone walls and defensive structures overlooking the surrounding landscape.
The Teutonic Order received the castle from Konrad von Horneck in 1438, making it their headquarters until its destruction during the German Peasants' War in 1525.
The castle houses the Siebenbürgen Institute with its library, archives, and the Transylvanian Museum, preserving the heritage of German minorities from the Carpathian region.
The castle includes hotel facilities for overnight stays, conference spaces, and celebration venues, while maintaining regular cultural events throughout the year.
The name Horneck derives from its position over the Neckar River, reflecting the geographical relationship between the fortress and the waterway below.
