Germany · 12th century
The Henfenfeld Castle, also called Pfinzing Castle, is a Höhenburg in Henfenfeld in the Landkreis Nürnberger Land, Germany, which was built around 1200 in the Late Middle Ages Seat of various Reichsministerialer, until it came into the possession of the Pfinzings von Henfenfeld in 1530. The buildings of the well-preserved estate, which has been privately owned again since 1983, have essentially retained their 16th-century appearance, while the landscaped garden is a nationally significant example of early 19th-century horticultural art. Burg Henfenfeld is not to be confused with the Pfinzing Castle in Feucht.
