It is our pleasure welcoming you

The Hohenzollern Castle, the ancestral seat of the family dynasty, is situated at the periphery of the Swabian Alb. It is no museum in its traditional sense but a historic as well as a distinct lively place which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world all year round. In addition to significant parts of our art collection, including important paintings, precious silver and porcelain as well as the Prussian royal crown, numerous concerts, family days, open-air cinema, exhibitions and the Royal Winter Magic make the castle an attractive cultural institution all year round.

The current castle complex was restored jointly by both branches of the House of Hohenzollern in the 19th century and is still privately owned by them today. It has served as the family's temporary residence for almost a thousand years and embodies a piece of home for us. In recent decades, over 16.000 disadvantaged children have also spent their vacations here at the invitation of the Princess Kira of Prussia Foundation.

Last but not least, it is also its extraordinary location which already prompted Emperor William II to proclaim “The panorama from the Hohenzollern Castle is truly worth a journey”. It is our great pleasure to invite you to personally discover the landmark of the Zollernalb region with its numerous attractions.
