The castle ruins are privately owned and not open to the public. An information board with a good view of the ruins is located at the rest area outside.

The moated castle has something of a fairytale castle

Great, that would be something for me, I just looked at the pictures, an impressive complex that definitely has an interesting historical story, like every castle and palace, very impressive and beautiful. 👍👏

From here, you have a beautiful view of the little castle. However, it is not open to the public.

The former care yard of the Maulbronn monastery was converted into a palace after secularisation. The complex is now used by the YMCA and is very well maintained. The vaulted cellar (entrance in the tower) can be visited. To the north you will find a small viewing terrace with a bench.

Already in 1247 a chapel "St. Jakobus”, which stood in the courtyard of the castle until 1826. The Pfleghof was first mentioned in 1347 in a contract of sale between the Margraviate of Baden and the Maulbronn Monastery, in which the monastery acquired the Margravial Fronhof. The Unteröwisheim monastery and its church patronage had already been acquired from Baden a year earlier. The building served as the seat of the caretaker for Unteröwisheim under the rule of the monastery. In 1556 the Pfleghof was taken over by Württemberg as a result of the secularization of the monastery and expanded into a palace. In 1590 it was equipped with prisons and in 1676 with a drawbridge, loopholes and an outwork. In 1689, as a result of the Palatinate War of Succession, the castle was partially burned down by French troops. At the beginning of the 18th century, the buildings were rebuilt under Friedrich August von Württemberg-Neuenstadt, with the main building being renovated again in 1748. As a result of the exchange and epuration agreement between the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Grand Duchy of Baden, the municipality of Unteröwisheim came under Baden in 1806. In the castle, which is now unused, a school and teachers' apartments were housed by the municipality. In 1826, the no longer used chapel in the inner courtyard was demolished. In 1908 the building was renovated and new classrooms were set up in the east corner of the palace. After a fire in 1989, the castle was renovated by the CVJM Baden. [from Wikipedia]
