Kornmarkt
A small square just below the castle, home to a Baroque Madonna statue and a classic view of the castle, with the funicular station right beside it.
Kornmarkt lies on the east side of Marktplatz, directly below the castle. In its center stands a Baroque Madonna statue from 1718, a classic angle for photographing “the Madonna with the castle,” especially lovely when the castle is lit up at night. At one corner of the square is the funicular station serving the castle and Königstuhl. You can also walk up from here along Burgweg in about 15 minutes. Free to visit. In winter the square is part of the Christmas market and includes an ice rink.
