A pearl among German castles.
History of the house
In the middle of the Franconian town of Forchheim, nestled between numerous charming half-timberred buildings, stands the castle of Forchheim, also call the “Kaiserpfalz“ by the townspeople. Although medieval documents prove that there must have been a palace complex in Forchheim, this has never been found by archaeologists. The castle complex that exists today is in fact a prince-bishop residence built by Bamberg Bishop Lambert von Brunn in the late 14th century.
