Germany · 11th century
Schloss Hohentübingen, with its Protestant castle church, lies centrally in the town of Tübingen on a spur of hill. A medieval castle was built here from the 11th century onwards and was replaced in the 16th century, using the old outer ward walls, by a new building, a mixture of fortress and early modern palace.
