Old Town Heidelberg and Rekindle those Special Feelings of
Romance!
On the summit of Jettenbühl (195 m/640 ft),
which dominates the eastern portion of the city, is Heidelberg
Castle (mainly 14th-17th century), one of the most impressive
historic landmarks of Germany, called the red walled castle. The
structure, now largely in ruins, preserves numerous examples of
medieval, Renaissance, and baroque German architecture. Of
particular interest are the four granite columns located in the
castle courtyard, which were once part of a castle belonging to
Charlemagne.
The castle's Otto Heinrich
wing houses a pharmaceutical museum. The cellar of Heidelberg
Castle contains the famed Heidelberg Tun, a wine vat with a
capacity of 220,017 liters (58,124 gallons). The present
day barrel was constructed in 1751 from 130 oak tree trunks, It
is 8.5 meters across and 7 meters high with a dance floor on
top. It was built under Karl Theodor, a baroque plaque bears his
initials.
