Dauchstein Castle was built around 1100 in the Stauffer period as a customs castle over the Neckar. Customs were levied on passing ships on the Neckar. In addition, a chain was stretched across the river. More history on the board on site.
The castle is privately owned. There are guided tours. Not at the moment because of Covod-19.
A great place!
