Hohenzollern Castle
Hohenzollern Castle is the 19th-century Gothic Revival reconstruction of a medieval hilltop fortress, sited on the summit of Mount Hohenzollern above Hechingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The current castle was completed in 1867 and serves as an ancestral seat and museum for the House of Hohenzollern.

As it stood in 1867
The shape it held in its prime.
Sitting on an isolated rocky promontory, the castle fills almost the entire summit with successive outer curtain walls and bastions. The palatial core is U-shaped, faced in warm beige masonry and capped by steep slate roofs, conical and pyramidal towers, pinnacles and a taller square keep-like tower; crenellated parapets and a multi-turn zwinger connect the bastions. The silhouette shows clustered towers and spires above a broad defensive terrace, set against the rolling plain below.
