Heidelberg Castle
First constructed in 1214, and expanded around 1295, part of Heidelberg Castle (Heidelberg Schloss) was destroyed in 1537 and rebuilt since. Many of the present structures date back to the 16th and 17th century, and are a fascinating view across the ages. The castle provides amazing panoramic views across Heidelberg from the broken tower or little viewpoints scattered over the castle. The courtyard in the castle is a beautiful example of baroque architecture – sprawling and busy with ornately designed buildings. Information in the castle is given in English and German.
