Market square with fountain
Half-timbered town hall (15th century) with fountain on the market square in Harburg
The little town of Harburg lies in the valley of the river Wörnitz between the hills of the Swabian and Franconian Jura. In the old town centre, irregular little half-timbered mediaevalstyle houses snuggle alongside baroque gabled dwellings in between the river Wörnitz and the Burgberg. Above the town, the mighty Harburg sits in regal splendour. It is one of the best-preserved castles in Southern Germany and today belongs to the not-for-profit Fürst zu OettingenWallerstein cultural foundation.
