Weißes Schloss, Heritage castle in Heroldsberg, Germany

Weisses Schloss is a three-story castle building in Heroldsberg featuring a pitched roof and a distinctive octagonal tower with a cone-shaped roof. The structure serves today as a cultural venue and exhibition space.

In 1471 Endres Geuder, of the Nuremberg patrician family, acquired a hereditary right and a garden by the churchyard of St. Matthew's; a document of 1487 suggests a manor house was begun there. The building was destroyed in the Second Margrave War and rebuilt in its present form from 1565. An octagonal, four-storey stair tower was added around 1762.

The castle is run by the volunteer association Kulturfreunde Heroldsberg e. V. A permanent exhibition is devoted to the life and work of the artist Fritz Griebel, and a hall on the second floor is used for weddings. The building also serves as an exhibition and event venue for the community.

The location is easily accessible on foot near the town center of Heroldsberg and is moderately distant from the train station. The building is open to the public and has sufficient space for visitors to enjoy the exhibitions throughout its rooms.

The building served as the town hall of Heroldsberg until 2005, when municipal administration moved to a new facility near the train station. This role made it the administrative center of the town before transforming into a cultural landmark.
