Tourist Guide

Hohenzollern Castle is the ancestral seat of the imperial House of Hohenzollern. Located atop Mount Hohenzollern, above and south of Hechingen, on the edge of the Swabian Jura of central Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The castle was completely destroyed in 1423 after a ten-month siege by the free imperial cities of Swabia. A larger and sturdier structure was constructed from 1454 to 1461, which served as a refuge for the Catholic Swabian Hohenzollerns, including during the Thirty Years' War. By the end of the 18th century it was thought to have lost its strategic importance and gradually fell into disrepair, leading to the demolition of several dilapidated buildings.

The final castle was built between 1846 and 1867 as a family memorial by Hohenzollern scion King Frederick William IV of Prussia. Architect Friedrich August Stüler based his design on English Gothic Revival architecture and the Châteaux of the Loire Valley. In 1945 it briefly became the home of the former Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany, son of the last Hohenzollern monarch, Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Our ongoing tour of German castles takes us to Hohenzollern Castle.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (151 reviews)

Really handy for the station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The freebies were much appreciated and I loved that I had a kettle in the room. My own issue was that the bed was really high and being just 5’ 2” I struggled to get in and out of it.
