The Waldburg Castle in a prominent location. A true landmark

The Waldenburg region became a fief of the noble Hohenlohe family around 1250. The first documented mention of a castle dates back to 1253. Waldenburg was granted town rights as early as 1330. It was converted into a castle in the 16th century, although some of the changes were reversed in the 18th century. The building became the headquarters of one of the Hohenlohe lines in 1553. The keep, also known as the Männlesturm (Männles Tower), received its present form in 1576. Further structural changes were made in the early 17th century, with Heinrich Schickhardt serving as an advisor. The castle stood empty from 1679 onwards, as the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg line died out. The castle church of St. Michael was built by master stucco worker Christian Dornacher in 1781 and 1782. Count Eberhard von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg had Pfedelbach Castle built from 1568 to 1572 on the walls of an older ministerial castle as a winter residence, as the climate in Pfedelbach was milder than that up in Waldenburg. In the 19th century, the castle was extensively renovated by a new Hohenlohe-Waldenburg line created through inheritance. The castle, along with almost 80 percent of the entire town area, was destroyed by artillery fire in 1945. Reconstruction took place from 1948 to 1963. Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen (* May 12, 1920 at Trendelburg Castle; † January 8, 2010 in Remshalden-Buoch) was a German stained-glass artist, painter, and draftsman. He became known primarily for his over 500 church windows and architectural works, both at home and abroad. Von Stockhausen maintained his studio at Waldenburg Castle, where he frequently exhibited his works to the public. Source: Wikipedia.

Various heirloom apple varieties are cultivated and explained here. It's fascinating to see how few varieties remain in the trade.
