April 2007 Rhine River Cruise:  Heidelberg, Germany

In the courtyard.  The main building has been restored, the building on the left is the chapel.  Various types of social events are held in these main buildings.

Mentions of the castle go back to the 1100's - 1200's but between then and now, it was destroyed and rebuilt many times.  For many years it sat in total ruin.  In the late 1800's, restoration work began and it continues today.
