View of the WillibaldsburgPhoto: Kathrin Gleich, Outdooractive Editors
Willibaldsburg Castle is enthroned on a ridge to the west above the old town of Eichstätt and is the town's most striking landmark.
Willibaldsburg Castle was built from 1353 under Bishop Berthold von Zollern and was extensively extended in the Renaissance period. Between the 16th and 17th centuries in particular, Willibaldsburg Castle served as the residence of the prince-bishops of Eichstätt.
Today, the imposing castle houses the Jura Museum with important fossil finds from the Altmühltal and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History. The extensive grounds with their bastions, gardens and the magnificent panoramic view of Eichstätt make Willibaldsburg Castle a popular excursion destination and cultural center of the region.
