One of the main attractions in Heidelberg is the Castle, which is made from red Neckar Sandstone. Parts of the castle are in ruining but the majority of it may be seen via tours.
The two photographs here show the clock tower and the main entrance to the castle.
Some of the castle wall remain standing and serve testimony to the size of the castle. On the right is a handsome model of the castle where everyone can appreciate it structure.
On the left is the read portion of the castle model. On the right is a close up of the huge wall with figures carved in the sandstone.
Heat for the people living in the castle in the Middle Ages was provided by this huge stove. The castle chapel is quite unique and breathtaking.
Jeanne is standing by the wine cask that can hold over 58,000 gallons (USA) while on the right is a view from the castle towards the town.
