Schloss Hersbruck, Renaissance castle in Hersbruck, Germany.

Schloss Hersbruck is a Renaissance castle in Hersbruck with a U-shaped structure, two stories, and octagonal corner towers positioned in the town's southeastern section. The building occupies Schlossplatz 1 and displays distinctive architectural details from the early modern period.

A fortified tower and seat of unknown construction date stood here, likely built by the Sulzbach counts in the 11th or early 12th century or by the Staufers in the late 12th or early 13th century. After 1504 Nuremberg ordered its demolition, and the stones were used to line the moat. In 1517 Nuremberg's master builder Hans Beheim the Younger erected a two-storey hip-roofed building on the old tower's foundations, roughly 27 by 11 metres. From 1808 the castle housed a district court, from 1862 a district and revenue office, and from 1939 to 1972 the district administration.

The castle functions today as a district court and remains a focal point in Hersbruck's civic life. Its role as a courthouse demonstrates how this building continues to shape the community's daily operations.

The castle is located at Schlossplatz 1 and remains easily accessible from the outside, allowing visitors to observe the Renaissance architecture. Since the building operates as a courthouse, only exterior areas can be visited during regular business hours.

The castle's origins are not medieval: a fortified tower and seat of unknown construction date stood here, probably built by the Sulzbach counts in the 11th or early 12th century or by the Staufer in the late 12th or early 13th century. After 1504 Nuremberg ordered its demolition, and the tower's stones were used to line the moat. Hans Beheim the Younger then built the present two-storey hip-roofed house in 1517 on the old Kemenate's foundations, about 27 by 11 metres.
