Rügland Castle is a two-part moated castle complex in Rügland. It is one of the few moated castles in Middle Franconia and was renovated by 1983. Since 1584, the estate has belonged to the Barons of Crailsheim. The Rügland area was already settled during the Stone Age; the first mention of the place dates back to 1137. At that time, ownership of Rügland was granted to Berta, the widow of Gerunch von Wielandsheim. In 1147, Rügland passed as a fief to the St. Gumbert Abbey in Ansbach. By 1298 at the latest, the Lords of Vestenberg owned Rosenberg Castle and the moated castle in Rügland. In 1437, the Rügland line of Vestenbergs died out, and the castle passed to the Rosenberg branch, although it remained a family seat. The only remaining relic of the castle is a cellar.

Its history dates back to the 13th century, and it was long owned by the Hohenzollern family. Today, the well-preserved medieval complex houses a castle hotel with a restaurant known for its regional cuisine. The castle offers picturesque views of the surrounding countryside and is a popular starting point for hikes. The 15th-century castle chapel is also a popular venue for weddings.

The history of the castle can only be deduced from the documents from the 13th century onwards; all claims about the period before that are purely speculative. The castle first appears explicitly in 1269 as being owned by the Counts of Truhendingen, who had the castle administered by bailiffs who exploited the lawless situation at the time by carrying out high-handed attacks. The oldest court records of the imperial city of Rothenburg attest to an almost endless chain of complaints about criminal offences committed by Colmberg officials before the local court after 1274, for example about unpaid debts, breached guarantees, trespassing, robbery, deprivation of liberty, theft and arson. Finally, in 1293, it was not the Truhendingen bailiff at the time who was outlawed, but the entire Colmberg castle. Because the Counts of Truhendingen were getting into increasing financial difficulties, they separated from this fortress with such a bad reputation, a documented robber baron castle. Colmberg was finally sold on July 13, 1318, together with the town of Leutershausen and the surrounding area, to the Burgrave Friedrich IV of Nuremberg for 6,200 pounds (Swabian) Haller Pfennig.
