Altes Schloss is a Renaissance castle in Neckarbischofsheim built with robust stone walls and the distinctive architectural features of the 16th century. The complex includes the main building, adjoining structures, and landscaped grounds that frame the fortified residence.

The castle was built in the 16th century as a fortified residence for regional nobility and has shaped the town's identity since then. Its design reflects how defensive architecture merged with comfortable living arrangements of the period.

The name 'Altes Schloss' simply means 'Old Castle', marking it as the elder structure in town and a focal point of local identity. Visitors and residents experience the building as a tangible link to the region's past, particularly through events held on its grounds.
