Burg Horkheim, Medieval castle in Heilbronn, Germany.
The water castle comprises a residential tower, enclosure walls, and preserves Gothic tendril paintings dating from the 16th century.
The castle changed ownership in 1389 when Eberhard II of Württemberg sold it to the Teutonic Order's Heilbronn commandery.
From the 17th to 19th centuries, the castle served as both residence and synagogue for the local Jewish community.
The castle grounds included vineyards and utility buildings, extending eastward along Schlossgasse street to the wine press.
In 1749, seventeen Jewish families, approximately 90 people, lived within the castle walls without paying protection money.
