Old Hohenbaden Castle

Highlight • Castle

The old Hohenbaden Castle was the first residence of the powerful Margraves of Baden. It is one of three castles on the Black Forest hills surrounding Baden-Baden. Today, the ruins are impressive due to their immense size. The castle houses a very good restaurant with various rooms, and a beer garden is open in the castle courtyard during the summer.
