Hohentübingen Castle (Schloss Hohentübingen), located on a hill north of the old town of Tübingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is a landmark overlooking the entire ancient city. Construction of the castle began in the 11th century, and it was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Duke of Württemberg into a Renaissance-style palace. It still retains its majestic gates, four round towers, and spacious courtyards. Today, the castle belongs to the University of Tübingen and houses a university museum and a museum of ancient culture, containing a large collection of archaeological artifacts, including the world-famous Ice Age ivory carving of the "Lion-Man." In 1869, scientist Michael first discovered "nucleotides," later confirmed as DNA, in the castle's laboratory, making it one of the important birthplaces of modern molecular biology. From the castle's viewing platform, one can enjoy panoramic views of the Neckar River, the red-tiled old town, and the distant Swabian hills. Hohentübingen Castle, a blend of history, art, archaeology, and science, is one of Tübingen's most worthwhile attractions.
