Herrieden Castle
Herrieden Castle, also known as Herrieden Palace, is a ruined town castle in the city of Herrieden in the district of Ansbach in Bavaria.
The town castle, later a "town palace", was built by the Lords of Herrieden and first mentioned in 1122, was destroyed in 1316 by the troops of Emperor Louis IV the Bavarian and rebuilt in 1342. After 1490, the castle was destroyed by fire, rebuilt between 1508 and 1510, and then burned down again by the Swedes in 1633. The Diocese of Eichstätt and the Counts of Oettingen are also named as further owners of the castle.
At the end of the 17th century, the town palace came into private ownership, was used as a brewery in the 18th century, and was not rebuilt after its destruction in 1875.
