The “Talburg” as a forerunner of Niefernburg Castle was built by the Lords of Niefern around 1185 at the latest. The Lords of Niefern, together with the Lords of Enzberg and von Dürrmenz, belonged to a large family and had a common coat of arms. In 1555, Margrave Charles II gave the place, including the old Burgstadel on the Enz, to his chancellor Martin Achtsynit for his services to the Reformation. He built the Niefernburg “from the ground up” and provided it with farm buildings, a sawmill and a grinding mill. The 27 meter high, octagonal stair tower is the best preserved of all the components.

The Niefernburg is now a youth welfare facility in the Diakonisches Werk of the Evangelical Regional Church in Baden. It was founded in 1852 as a rescue center for orphans and has developed into a social-educational facility for girls and young women that supports them in their reorientation.

The pretty Niefernburg is located directly on the bike path and is now a girls' dormitory.
