The grounds of Ehrenberg Castle from the early 12th century were directly related to the Hohenstaufen imperial palace in nearby Wimpfen. The Vorburg is still inhabited by the von Racknitz family, the ruins of the inner castle serve as a breeding station for birds of prey. As the castle is privately owned and inhabited, it cannot be visited.

I'm not sure if you can even get to the castle. Worth seeing from afar, but it seems to have been left to decay
