The Castle Garden (Burggarten) sits on the site of Emperor Conrad III's original imperial castle, built in 1142 and destroyed by an earthquake in 1356. It was transformed into a peaceful garden offering stunning panoramic views of the Tauber Valley, Double Bridge, and Franconian countryside. The garden features lush trees, seasonal flower beds, and benches for relaxation. Access is through the historic 12th century Castle Gate.
Spring for blooming flowers, sunset for best photography. Closed only during the Imperial City Festival fireworks show on one Saturday evening.
