    The castle was owned by the knights, its first documentary mention goes back to 1244. Before that, the lords of Hornstein, already mentioned in the 11th century, were probably sitting in a castle in the Hornstein area.

    As the ancestral seat of the von Hornstein noble family of the same name, the castle underwent several phases of construction until it was converted into a stately baroque palace around 1700. In 1787, the Hornsteiners sold their property to the princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

    As with most of the castles, there is a great view. And a strengthening would normally also be included. The easiest way to get to the castle ruins from the village is without any problems.
