Heroldsberg (East Franconian: Herldsbärch) is a municipality in the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt, in Bavaria, Germany.

It was them who built the four manors, the so-called green, red, white and yellow castles, and the fortified church at the village's market square.

Famous painter Albrecht Dürer, a friend of councillor and Schultheiß Martin Geuder III (1455–1532), made the first graphical depiction of the village of Heroldsberg in 1510, with Geuder's newly built Red Castle in the foreground.

In 1796 the Geuder family lost the fiefdom and the territory became Prussian, though in the Napoleonic Wars it was under French administration for four years.
