Hersbruck Castle now serves as the seat of the District Court. Before the year 1000 it was built as a castle to protect the Pegnitz Bridge. In 1360, Emperor Charles IV acquired the property and had a house built for the New Bohemian administrator. 1517 New construction of the castle by the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, towers and side wings were built between 1616 and 1622.
