Hornberg Castle above the Jagst near Kirchberg was built around 1216 by the Sulz family (based on the hill opposite) as a Hohenstaufen castle. After many changes of ownership, the castle came into the hands of the Lords of Crailsheim in 1504.
During the Peasants' War, part of the spur castle was destroyed, but was subsequently rebuilt. The Lords of Crailsheim converted the castle into a palace in the 16th century and created a garden.
The property is still owned by the Baron Crailsheim Family Foundation and cannot be visited.

Beautiful grounds and a lovely descent into the valley. The paving in the lower area is laid as a water protection so that the water does not flow too quickly into the valley. Care should be taken when walking downhill.

Unfortunately, it's private. No access. The steep climb was in vain.
