Hornberg Castle, Medieval castle in Neckarzimmern, Germany

The castle stands on a steep outcrop above the Neckar Valley, featuring defensive walls, a tower, and multiple buildings within its compound.

Originally constructed in the 11th century, Hornberg Castle served as the residence of knight Götz von Berlichingen from 1517 until his death in 1562.

The castle museum displays collections of medieval artifacts, including the 500-year-old armor of Götz von Berlichingen and regional historical items.

Visitors can access the castle daily from April to October, with guided tours available in German and English through its preserved structures.

The castle operates as both a heritage site and a hotel-restaurant, allowing guests to stay overnight in rooms within medieval fortification walls.
