Grombach Castle dates back to a former moated castle dating back to the 13th century. It was originally built by the local nobility and in 1498 came into the possession of the von Venningen family, who had it rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1544. Over the centuries, the castle was damaged several times – for example, during the Peasants' War and the Thirty Years' War – and subsequently repaired. A significant renovation took place around 1840 by Carl Theodor von Venningen. The family has not lived in the castle since 1865. After the Second World War, it temporarily served as accommodation for refugees. Today, the castle is privately owned, is partly used for residential purposes, and is not open to the public.

... is a former moated castle from the 13th century. Due to the eventful ownership history of Grombach, the castle was not inhabited at all times. The Lords of Venningen, who acquired the castle and town of Grombach in 1498, had them rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1544. After an interruption in the 17th century, they have been in possession of the facility again since around 1700. The castle was last inhabited by the owners in the middle of the 19th century. Since then, the associated large estate has been leased, while the residential building of the castle has been used for various residential purposes.
