Karlsburg Castle, Cultural heritage castle in Durlach district, Karlsruhe, Germany.

The Karlsburg Castle features the Prinzessinnenbau wing, situated on elevated ground with views across the surrounding Durlach neighborhood.

Margrave Charles II established the castle as his residence in 1563, but French troops burned the structure during their occupation in 1689.

The Pfinzgau Museum within the castle walls presents collections documenting the regional history of Baden and the development of Durlach.

The castle houses administrative offices, educational facilities, and the local registry office following extensive renovations between 1973 and 1988.

The structure transformed from a margravial residence to multiple functions over centuries, including periods as military barracks and government offices.
