Burg Jagsthausen, Medieval castle in Jagsthausen, Germany

The castle structure includes a palace with knights' hall, a ladies' house, a keep, and a service building with tall corner towers.

Lords of Husen constructed the hilltop fortress in the 13th century before the Berlichingen family took control after 1370.

Since 1950, the castle courtyard hosts annual performances of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's drama 'Götz von Berlichingen'.

The castle museum displays weapons, Roman artifacts, and the original iron hands that belonged to Götz von Berlichingen.

Former German President Roman Herzog spent his final years at the castle with his wife Alexandra Freifrau von Berlichingen.
