      Gomaringen Castle was the parish seat of Johann Ulrich Schwindrazheim (* 1736; † 1813) and from 1837 to 1841 of Gustav Schwab. The humpback cuboid ring wall and the keep, which only has its foundation walls, of the former Staufer-era lower nobility seat date from the early 13th century. The noble von Gomaringen family, who were in the service of the Counts of Achalm and the Counts Palatine of Tübingen, built and lived in this castle.

      According to dendrochronological dating, the three-story half-timbered building in the southeast corner of the curtain wall with a wide projection over the top of the wall dates from 1307. A heatable corner room and a carpet-like scroll painting with parrots from the middle of the 14th century in one of the window niches demonstrate the high level of living comfort.
      Around 1500, the south wing of the castle was expanded into the official residence of the Reutlingen bailiffs. The fountain in the castle courtyard was built in 1548 by the stonemason Hans Huber from Reutlingen in the Renaissance style on behalf of Vogt Michael Klewer.

      In 1590, Vogt Nikolaus Staud had the east wing built and the medieval part of the south wing redesigned and expanded. The east wing was inserted between the keep and the medieval defensive wall as a three-story half-timbered building with central supports that extend over two floors. The east facade was decorated with decorative framework.
