WORLD-FAMOUS ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTWhen the Rhenish Counts Palatine and later Electors decided to settle with their residence in Heidelberg, the magnificent, eventful history of Heidelberger Castle began. Up until the Thirty Years' War, it was home of one of Germany's most important courts. The world-famous garden, the "Hortus Palatinus", was the last building project begun. This was followed by a period of destruction. The Castle has been preserved as a ruin and attracts one million visitors from around the world every year as a cultural monument of international ranking. This guide familiarizes visitors with the history of the Castle and accompanies them on a tour through the Castle complex and the garden.
