Schloss Honhardt, Water castle in Frankenhardt, Germany.

The medieval castle features defensive walls, a watchtower on a natural rock formation, and a protective moat surrounding its perimeter.

First documented in 1024 by Emperor Heinrich II, the castle began as a residential tower with wooden fortifications before expanding into a stone fortress.

The structure represents the architectural evolution of German defensive buildings, transitioning from a military stronghold to an administrative center for nobility.

While the castle houses a private arms collection since 2009, visitors can observe the exterior architecture and explore the surrounding village of Honhardt.

The castle underwent a transformation from a military fortress to a hospital under the Haller Spital administration following the Bebenburger Fehde conflict in 1444.
