The Hortus Palatinus, or Garden of the Palatinate, was a Baroque garden attached to Heidelberg Castle, Germany. The garden was commissioned by Frederick V, Elector Palatine in 1614 for his new wife, Elizabeth Stuart, and became famous across Europe during the 17th century for the landscaping and horticultural techniques involved in its design. At the time it was known as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World', and has since been termed 'Germany's greatest Renaissance garden.'

The Upper Castle, also known as the Old Castle or Burg zu Berge, is a hilltop castle on the northwestern slope of the Königstuhl above Heidelberg Castle. Like Heidelberg Castle, the no longer existing complex on today's Klingenteichstraße already existed in the Middle Ages. It was demonstrably largely destroyed on 25 April 1537 by a lightning strike with an accompanying explosion due to stored black powder reserves. The base area and foundation walls of the former hilltop castle are now mainly built over by the whey cure.
