The Harburg Castle is one of the largest, best-preserved castles in all of Germany. Visiting Harburg and the Harburg Castle is like stepping back into the Middle Ages! Harburg Castle is one of the jewels of the Romantic Road. Wonderfully preserved, the castle sits high on a hill and overlooks the town for which it's named.
It is unclear when the first structure was erected, but the castle was first mentioned in a document in 1150. However, historians believe that portions of the castle may have been built in the 10th and 11th centuries, and Roman remains have been found on the site.

Because of its strategic location, it provided a military stronghold during the reign of the Staufer-Kings from 1079 to 1272. It was referenced in documents in 12th century as the Staufer Imperial Castle. In 1295, the castle was transferred to the Count of Oettingen and it has been in the Oettingen, and later the Oettingen-Wallerstein, families ever since.

The castle complex, including the castle house, chapel, sentry walk (complete with holes through which to pour hot oil on invading marauders!), prison tower, dungeon, and various buildings used to support the inhabitants, is surrounded by a wall supporting six towers. In the center of the complex is a large courtyard with a well.
