Schloss Hersbruck, Renaissance castle in Hersbruck, Germany.

The castle features a U-shaped structure with two stories, a gabled roof, and octagonal corner towers positioned in the southeastern part of town.

Built around 1000 AD and first recorded in 1003 as Hatheresburgdi, the castle underwent major reconstruction between 1616 and 1621 by Nuremberg architect Jakob Wolff.

The castle currently functions as a district court, maintaining its role as a center of local administration while preserving its architectural elements.

Visitors can access the castle through Schlossplatz 1, where they can observe the exterior architecture and learn about its administrative functions.

The western tower, partially demolished in 1909, was fully reconstructed in 1972, demonstrating local commitment to historical preservation.
