Heidelberg Castle
Heidelberg Castle, a Gothic architectural gem, stands in red Neckar Valley sandstone above Heidelberg's Old Town. Initially built as a fortress, it served as the residence for the Electors of the Palatinate for nearly three centuries. Although it was destroyed during the War of the Palatine Succession, the castle remains a significant testament to noble life in the Holy Roman Empire. A distinctive feature is the Apothecary Tower.
