城は1679年から1691年にかけて、中世のウォーターキャッスルに代わって、ホーエンローエ＝キュンツェルザウ伯爵ヨハン・ルートヴィヒによって4翼の複合施設として建設されました。1679年から1868年までホーエンローエ家の居城であり、1873年から1934年まで教員養成学校でした。1937年から1939年にかけて建物は完全に改築され、今日では寄宿舎付きの州立ギムナジウムが入居しています。

Beautiful and worth seeing complex which today serves as a retirement home;

Almost completely overgrown, barely visible

Around 1250, Kraft von Boxberg built Lichteneck Castle, which was presumably destroyed by lightning in the mid-15th century. Today, one can enjoy a wonderful view of the Kocher Valley from here.

Steep path over various steps on the way to the Lichteneck ruins.

According to the sign on the gate: "After the destruction of the former castle (1523), it was built here in 1592 by Georg Siegmund von Adelsheim. Renaissance style. Portal and stonemasonry by Michel Niclas from Reinsbronn" Unfortunately, it leads a Sleeping Beauty existence.

Fantastic complex that I visited today, you always wonder how they got the stones up there 900 years ago, the Lords of Stetten chose a perfect place for the castle 🏰, great, take a look at it

Bartenau Castle is a castle in Künzelsau in the north-east of Baden-Württemberg. The noble family of Stein is documented in Künzelsau from the 11th century. After they died out, their relatives, such as the Lords of Künzelsau and the Lords of Bartenau, inherited the estate of the Stein family. The von Künzelsau family built their Kunzelsawe Castle around 1248. After the Künzelsau family died out in 1341, their residence became Bartenau Castle. When the Lords of Bartenau also died out, the Lords of Stetten inherited the castle in 1390, which they sold in part to the Archbishopric of Mainz in 1484. Bartenau Castle passed to the House of Hohenlohe through inheritance. Count Johann Ludwig von Hohenlohe-Langenburg-Gleichen had Bartenau Castle demolished in 1679 and built a three-storey castle in the late Renaissance style with four round towers in its place. From 1873 onwards, the building served as a teacher training college, then as an educational institution, and today it houses a state secondary school with boarding school.
