Hellenstein Castle is a fortress located above the city of Heidenheim an der Brenz. It was once the headquarters of the Lords of Hellenstein. The ownership changed later: in the late Middle Ages the complex was in Bavarian hands, at the beginning of modern times it was Württemberg.

The landmark of Heidenheim is Hellenstein Castle. Opera festivals are regularly held in the castle's inner courtyard. The castle museum is a must-see, as is the carriage museum in the former fruit store. Also interesting is the so-called Kindlesbrunnen (Kindles Fountain) and its history.
