One of the three castles in Jagsthausen that still exists today is the so-called "Red Castle". It probably got its name from its striking reddish color scheme. The three-story main building has a mansard roof with gable-shaped skylights. A round stair tower is attached to the west side. It was built around 1590, probably as a successor to an older "nobleman's residence".

The Red Castle in Jagsthausen dates back to the 16th century and was built of red sandstone in the Renaissance style. It is located opposite Götzenburg Castle and is now partly privately used.
