Schloss Herrenberg, Cultural heritage château in Herrenberg, Germany.

The castle complex stretches 64 meters from east to west and 36 meters from north to south, with materials sourced from nearby quarries and forest.

First documented in 1220, the castle changed ownership from the Palatine family to the Count of Württemberg in 1382, marking a significant shift in regional power.

The castle's representation in the council chamber of Herrenberg's town hall depicts the history of the Palatine castle through detailed paintings.

Visitors can access the remaining cellar area, which has been transformed into a restaurant in 1957, and climb the castle tower for regional views.

During an earthquake in 1733, the entire castle structure sank by half a meter, causing substantial damage that influenced its subsequent development.
