    After the destruction of the Schrozburg in 1441, the moated castle was built on the Vorbach. The three-wing complex with the old building in the south and the Berlichinger tower in the inner courtyard dates from the 15th to 16th centuries. The construction of the castle took about 100 years. Even Götz von Berlichingen is said to have spent some time there in his youth. The west wing and the round corner tower were added in 1625, and the east wing was added in the 18th century. The courtyard, which is open to the north, merges into the palace gardens laid out in 1701. There is a beautifully landscaped box garden in front of the castle. At that time, control of the castle was not assigned to a noble family, as was usual, but divided between the lords of Schrozberg, Adelsheim, Seldeneck, Rothenburg, Berlichingen and Hohenlohe. Ownership of Schrozberg Castle has changed several times over the years among these families.

    The municipality of Schrozberg bought and renovated the castle in 1948. Today the city administration is housed in the castle. There is also a dental practice and other cultural spaces, also for the public. Exhibitions, theater performances and concerts take place there, for example.
