Maienfels Castle near Wüstenrot in the Heilbronn district was built between 1230 and 1250. The main castle, which is still largely preserved today, was uniformly surrounded by a curtain wall.
Visit to Maienfels Castle

Today, the special backdrop of Maienfels Castle is used for concerts and theater performances. It is also possible to request the Marstall for civil weddings followed by a reception in the courtyard.
If the gate is open, you can enter the courtyard at your own risk. A tour of the outdoor area can be requested from the Wüstenrot municipality. It is not possible to visit the living quarters.
