    Treuchtlingen Castle, also known as the Upper Veste, is the ruin of a spur castle above Treuchtlingen. The extensive fortifications were renovated and partially reconstructed from 1975 onwards by the Treuchtlingen Castle Association. The castle is believed to date from around 1100. The castle grounds are freely accessible and the key to the castle tower can be borrowed after consultation with the local authority. In summer, the castle hosts theatre performances, castle serenades and a castle festival.
