ヒルシュアウの洞窟・トップ20

In the 12th century, the castle of the same name was built on a spur above present-day Bad Liebenzell. The castle consisted of several buildings and a thick curtain wall with an integrated keep. The dry moat now serves as a parking lot. The keep and curtain wall have been preserved and can be visited during opening hours. Today, the castle serves as a conference center and restaurant. From the keep, there is a far-reaching view over the surrounding valleys, which were monitored from the castle.

With a beautiful view, it is a good place to rest

The castle was restored in 2009-2011 and houses the Dätzinger Local History Museum. In the castle courtyard there is a mighty sequoia tree and several small round fountains

The Liebeneck castle ruins are the ruins of a high medieval spur castle, hilltop castle from the 11th to 12th centuries in the Hagenschiess forest area, southeast of the Würm district of Pforzheim. Currently closed due to restoration (as of October 17, 2023)

Beautiful castle. Unfortunately, the beautiful courtyard with the old fountain is private property. But in the lower corridor you can sit nicely on the walls. Sun on your face and just enjoy the view

Very nice way up to Zavelstein Castle

In addition to the enchanting view of the surrounding area, the castle also offers a number of mysteries: missing maidens, mountains of bones and a giant. But it's best for you to find out for yourself. The castle tower is open to the public every day in good weather, but closed in winter due to the risk of slipping. The restaurant is currently closed (March 2022), but the operators want to reopen it soon. Maybe the maidens and the giant will help...

The Order of St. John acquired the village of Dätzingen in the 13th century. As early as 1263, a brother house was mentioned in a document in place of today's castle. Suspected, but not certain, is a water castle as the medieval predecessor building. The first palace buildings were built in 1607. At that time the place came into the possession of the Order of Malta. The castle was expanded to today's four-wing complex in 1733. In the 18th century, the commander's domicile was in the castle. After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Württemberg. Count Carl Ludwig von Dillen came into possession of the palace in 1810 as a gift from King Friedrich I. Changes made by the court architect Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret, especially the portico from 1810 to 1812, resulted in the current appearance. The building came into the possession of the Grafenau community in 1961. Today the castle houses the local history museum, a gallery, an auction house and an antiquarian bookshop.
