Burg Wersau and Schloßmühle Reilingen

Wersau Castle is a defunct Niederungsburg. The facility was later converted into a castle mill.
In its heyday, the Wersau was a stately castle with a curtain wall, a palas, probably four large towers and numerous other buildings. With the outer bailey, mill, chapel and sheep farm, 24 or more buildings belonged to this complex. The entire castle complex was surrounded by a wetland area and moats. In 1686 the castle estate comprised 154 acres of arable land and 30 acres of meadows in the Ketschau (Rhine valley between Hockenheim and Ketsch). Around 1690 the castle was an oval complex, the dilapidated outer walls of which were supported by buttresses. The complex was destroyed in 1689 in the Palatinate War of Succession. The mill and dairy that had meanwhile been set up at the castle also burned down to the ground. The stones were used for other buildings. With the exception of the walls uncovered by the archaeologists, almost nothing is left of the entire castle and palace complex. Only an old deep well could still come from the heyday of Wersau Castle.
The mill by the castle is occupied from 1596. The building stock that was demolished in 2015 was from 1911, operations were closed in 1959. The main building was then used for many years by a wholesale company. The engine house with the stump of a chimney, which was converted for residential purposes, is still preserved. The building and land have been owned by the municipality of Reilingen since 2007, whose council decided at the beginning of 2017 to build an archeology park with a museum there in the coming years.

Wersau Castle is an abandoned lowland castle not far from the municipality of Reilingen, located in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region between Heidelberg and Speyer. The history of this facility, which was later converted into a mill, is still largely unknown and has therefore been specifically researched since 2010.
