The ruins of Stetten, also known as Holstein or Hölnstein, are ruins of a castle in a rock near the Stetten district of the town of Burladingen in the Zollernalb district in Baden-Württemberg. The cave castle was probably built around 1275 by the Lords of Hölnstein, was sold in parts from 1388 and in 1431 it was inhabited by Renhard Nerer, son-in-law of Konrad von Hölnstein. In 1474 the entire castle was handed over to Count Jos. sold to Niklas von Zollern. Count Eitel Friedrich von Zollern had "the tower on the Burgstall near Stetten" demolished in 1585. In 1985 the ruins were repaired by the city of Burladingen.

The former castle complex with pre-fortifications, protected by an eastern and southern wall with moats, had a large and small cave and a passage cave and had a keep with a vaulted cellar, courtyard and buildings. Extensive remains of the wall are still preserved from the complex.

It's really a cool ruin, a little further down there is also a cave you can go into
