Hohenbaden Castle, Medieval hillside castle in Baden-Baden, Germany.
The stone fortress spans across the west side of Battert rock, containing multiple towers, defensive walls, and approximately one hundred interior rooms.
Herman II, Margrave of Baden, established this residence in 1102, which remained the seat of the margraves for four centuries until 1479.
Gothic architectural elements define the structure, particularly in the lower castle section built during Margrave Bernard I's reign from 1372 to 1431.
The castle opens daily to visitors, featuring a restaurant that operates from May 15th and a kiosk providing refreshments starting May 1st.
Following its abandonment as the main residence, the castle transformed into a dedicated residence for widows until a fire damaged it in 1599.
