Menzingen Castle is a Renaissance-era moated castle located in Kraichtal-Menzingen in the Karlsruhe district. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the castle was rebuilt by the Lords of Mentzingen in the 16th century and destroyed during World War II. 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.

Once a month - usually on the first Sunday of the month from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. - the German Alpine Club, Eppingen district group, opens and manages the Ottilienberg tower.

The DAV Eppingen local group's hiking hut is currently open on the first Sunday of every month, whatever the weather.

Very nicely laid out castle park with plenty to see from sculptures to the lake, the castle itself, just enjoy the peace and quiet.

The castle park is very nicely laid out. Sculptures by the artist Görtz can be admired there. It is particularly beautiful at Whitsun during the Festival of Lights.

A castle park to linger and a castle that is used sensibly.

For leisure and base of the DAV as well as a lookout tower

Source community Angelbachtal: Art by Professor Jürgen Goertz The sculptures by the local artist Jürgen Goertz are a special attraction for art lovers. Various large-scale sculptures by the artist who lives in the Heckerhaus and who worked in the former castle church are set up on Friedrich-Hecker-Platz and in the castle park. With over 10 sculptures, they represent an impressive cross-section of the work of Professor Goertz, who is known beyond the borders of the region. The Angelbachtaler are proud of the man with the huge whiskers who made the townscape partly a gallery and made the name of the 5000-inhabitant community widely known. So proud that on July 2nd, 2014 the local council unanimously made him the first honorary citizen of the municipality that was created in 1972 through the merger of Eichtersheim and Michelfeld. For the community it was a "great stroke of luck" that the artist settled here - but also luck for the artist that he has found a place where unique landscape, mild climate and human serenity meet. The works of art by Prof. Jürgen Goertz are presented in detail on the artist's homepage. Homepage of the artist Jürgen Goertz
