Hohenzollern Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Bisingen, Germany.

The castle stands at 843 meters elevation on Mount Hohenzollern, featuring military structures, palatial buildings, gardens, and multiple defensive towers against the Swabian Alps.

Built between 1846 and 1867 under King Frederick William IV of Prussia, this structure represents the third castle constructed on the site since the 11th century.

The castle museum displays important artifacts of Prussian history, including the Crown of Wilhelm II and several personal items belonging to King Frederick the Great.

The castle opens daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a restaurant serving regional specialties throughout the day.

The Princess Kira of Prussia Foundation maintains a tradition since 1952 of organizing summer camps for children within the castle grounds.
