Old Castle Beihingen

Built in the 12th/13th centuries. The south wing dates from the 15th century. Originally the seat of the Lords of Beihingen/Ossweil, the Lords of Nothaft von Hochberg, and the Lords of Stammheim. Purchased in 1534 by Ludwig von Freyberg. It then belonged to the noble families of Hallweil, Breitenbach, and Galerie von Ravensburg, and from 1719 to the Gemmingen-Hochberg. Municipal property since 1964.

The "Old Castle" in Beihingen was built in the 12th and 13th centuries. It was built in the 19th century and essentially consists of two fenced half-timbered buildings facing each other. The tower, the Romanesque predecessor of today's castle, is still partially preserved. In 1546 the castle-like property got its current appearance.
The owners changed several times. So it belonged to the Lords of Nothafft, Stammheim, Freyberg and Hallweyl. The Göler von Ravensburg and the Lords of Gemmingen-Hornberg were also allowed to call themselves owners for a while.
The fountain in the castle courtyard, which is freely accessible, shows the coat of arms of the Lords of Gemmingen-Hornberg.
Since 1964, the castle has belonged to the municipality, which set up apartments here, as well as the city archives and the library.
