Hersbruck was first mentioned in documents in 976 when a castle was built on the site of a bridge. The historic old town is home to the German Shepherd Museum, the only specialist museum on shepherding in Germany. The Hersbruck Art Museum is also located in the city center. In addition to 3 historic city gates, the castle and the city wall, there are numerous well-preserved, historical buildings in Hersbruch. Hersbruck is the first of what are now seventeen German Cittàslow towns.
