The keep has been preserved and can be climbed. The upper (narrow) section is a bit dark, but the climb is worth it!

Only one freestanding tower remains of the former Schwabsburg Castle. This tower, made of massive, bossed ashlars, was once the keep of the complex. Located on a Roman military road leading to Mommenheim, it once served to protect and maintain the power of the Hohenstaufen dynasty in and around Nierstein and Oppenheim. Where the castle was built is unknown, but a connection to the construction of Landskron Castle in Oppenheim is suspected, which suggests a date between 1125 and 1245. These buildings were destroyed by the Spanish in 1620 during the Thirty Years' War. Although no further remains of the complex exist, old sources mention a dining hall, a curtain wall, and various residential and commercial buildings. https://www.rheinhessen.de/a-burg-schwabsburg

story Before Landskron Castle was built, there was probably a Salic or Hohenstaufen fortification on the same site, which was owned by King Henry V and destroyed in 1118 by troops of Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz. The castle itself was probably built in the early 13th century. The oldest surviving written mention of the "Reichsburg Oppenheim" comes from 1244. This castle was destroyed in 1257 and 1275 by the citizens of Oppenheim in a dispute with the Burgmannen over their privileges. However, Rudolf von Habsburg forced the citizens to rebuild the castle by 1281. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV pledged the castle to Ruprecht von der Pfalz. Accordingly, Ruprecht had the castle expanded. He was succeeded by his grandson Ruprecht III. as the owner of the castle, who also died there. In 1615, Elector Frederick V had the castle rebuilt like a palace. The castle burned down in the Thirty Years' War during the town fire in Oppenheim

Schwabsburg: a bold little town with an impressive castle, the town meanders through the valley like a snake below the castle and, thanks to its layout, retains its historical independence despite being incorporated into Nierstein.
