The "höpfigheimer Schlössle" is a facility worth seeing that was built in the High Middle Ages and expanded into a castle in the 16th century!
A short tour of the historical buildings (e.g. Kelter, Georgslirche, Backhäusle etc.) in town also starts here!!

The round tower made of quarry stones probably dates from the earliest times because the Höpfigheim local authority had its own jurisdiction and it serves as a local prison. It had no defense function. In 1820 the camera office in Marbach sold the tower, known as the "prison", for 25 guilders to the municipality of Höpfigheim, which continued to use it as a "spot prison". In 1855, she sold the tower, because it was dilapidated, to a Höpfigheimer, who did not demolish it for reasons of cost.

Cycling

The complex was first mentioned as a castle in 1339. The complex presents itself as a beautiful half-timbered castle. A gate leads into the inner courtyard. In any case, you should leave the bike path and make a stop at this highlight.
