Location of the Schloss-SchuleSchloss-Schule Kirchberg is located in the heart of southern Germany, above the romantic Jagst valley in one of the most beautiful regions of Baden-Württemberg on the "Windshöhe" of the small town of Kirchberg an der Jagst in rural Hohenlohe.
The town center of Kirchberg, where there is plenty to discover, is just a 10-minute walk away. The integration of our Schloss-Schule into the town of Kirchberg is something that is greatly appreciated by our pupils. In addition to the impressive backdrop of the old town with Kirchberg Castle and the Sandel Museum, the town of Kirchberg has a lot more to offer.
Among other things, there are various restaurants and a pizzeria. There is also a cinema in Kirchberg, the "Klappe", where our students like to stop by time and again, whether for a meal and/or a movie.
