      The Topplerschlösschen is a small late medieval residential tower in the Tauber Valley near Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It was built by the mayor of Rothenburg, Heinrich Toppler, in 1388 as a so-called pond house, a special type of permanent house, as a summer house. It consists of a stone substructure in the style of a defense tower and upper floors made of half-timbering. It is surrounded by a moat that was flooded by a spring. If necessary, the water could be drained via the Fuchsmühle into the Mühlbach. Small manor houses of this type were common in the late Middle Ages, but have survived extremely rarely.

        Romantic castle at the foot of the Tauber with a view of the historic old town of Rothenburg o.d. Deaf.
