Beautiful, in top restored condition.

The beautifully restored Renaissance castle of Schmieheim was built between 1607 and 1610 by Friedrich Bock von Gerstheim. The Bock family was an old Strasbourg patrician family that had owned Schmieheim since 1449. Today, the castle houses, among other things, the local administration.

Who doesn't know you when they drive on the highway? Not always open as it is privately owned

Of the ruins, the walls of the palace, a cellar vault, as well as parts of the bering and the outer bailey still stand. A new bridge was built that leads from the outer bailey over the neck ditch to the core castle.

Not directly accessible because the ruins belong to someone privately.

The Nirlinsberg is a long tongue of mountain that protrudes far into the valley to the north and drops very steeply to the north, west and east. Its southern, acute-angled end is separated from the rear ridge by a neck ditch about 15 m wide. There is no sign of an assumed wall in the area, the area was leveled for the planting of vines. The area separated by the ditch measures approx. 140 m in length and 25 m at the widest point. The terrain is graded to the north in several flat terraces. In front of the northern tip, in front of the steep slope towards the valley, is a wide, roughly triangular terrace, which is lower but was probably included in the fortifications. Halfway up the artificially steep (excavated) northern slope, a wide berm can be seen all around. In contrast, the eastern slope appears completely changed by later planted terraced vines. The construction time of the plant is not clear. More recent inspections provided new approaches through reading finds here. However, it is still unclear whether it was a refuge (only a temporary retreat (escape castle?) or a permanently inhabited seat of power. Due to the spatial proximity to the early medieval Altenkenzingen and the Carolingian sherd, construction and use in the 8th-10th Century very likely. The Nirlinsberg would thus belong to the group of early forms of medieval castles.
