View of Heidelberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Heidelberg Castle is one of the most famous ruins in Germany and the symbol of the city of Heidelberg. Until it was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession, it was the residence of the Palatinate Electors. Since it was destroyed by the soldiers of Louis XIV in 1689 and blown up by French pioneers on September 6, 1693, Heidelberg Castle has only been partially restored. After lightning bolts set fire to the partially renovated facility on June 24, 1764, restoration was abandoned. The castle ruins made of red Neckar valley sandstone rise up on the northern slope of the Königstuhl above the old town (80 meters above the valley floor). The Ottheinrichsbau, one of the palace buildings of the castle, is one of the most important buildings of German Mannerism. In the cultural-historical epoch of Romanticism, the castle ruins were stylized as the epitome of a bygone and admirable epoch. It is now one of the most visited tourist attractions in Europe.
