Here you can see the remains of what was then a very large and large moated castle at Helmstatt. Among other things, the fountain has been preserved or restored together with a few stone tablets on various buildings. In any case, it is worth a visit.
This property was part of a large complex with 3 castles.
The Helmstatter counts have their seat today in the castle of Hochhausen, they were killed by the intrigues of the Berlichinger and the emperor.
The courtyard and the grounds now belong to the Counts of Berlichingen.

I actually only saw one asparagus farm - but that's definitely seasonal!
