Beutelsbach Castle, also known as Kappelberg Castle Ruins, is the ruin of a spur castle near the Beutelsbach district of the town of Weinstadt in the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg and the oldest seat of the Württemberg family.
History

The castle was probably built in the 11th century by the Württemberg family as their first ancestral castle. It protected the Kaiserstraße, an important road connection in the Middle Ages that led over the Schurwald into the Filstal.[1] Around 1080, the Württemberg family still called themselves Beutelsbach until they moved to Wirtemberg Castle and took its name.
