The ruins of Forchtenberg Castle stand majestically above the old town, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Jagst Valley. 🏰🌄 Built in the 13th century, it was once the seat of the Lords of Hohenlohe and later of the Württemberg bailiffs. Today, only parts of the curtain wall, the keep, and the foundations of the once mighty complex remain – surrounded by ancient trees and Virginia creeper. A climb to the ruins is well worth it: Panoramic views of the town, river, and rolling hills Information panels about the history of the castle and its inhabitants Quiet spots for lingering, dreaming, and reflecting

The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and was expanded into its current form in the 15th century. It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Jagst River and impresses with its solid stonework and historic flair. Today, it is privately owned but houses, among other things, a hotel and serves as a venue for the Jagsthausen Castle Festival, where Goethe's "Götz von Berlichingen" is performed annually on the open-air stage.

The current complex, consisting of the two-winged core building, was built by the von Berlichingen family in the 15th and 16th centuries. Götzenburg was the birthplace of the "Knight with the Iron Hand", Götz von Berlichingen was born here in 1480. The designs of the Ulm Minster master builder August von Beyer led to the largest remodeling of the castle between 1876 and 1878, during which the south wing and the gate tower were built and the park around the complex was laid out.

Beautiful castle, which is also used as a hotel.

Great view of the valley

The Götz quote – the “Swabian greeting” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe created a literary monument to him in the third act of his play Götz von Berlichingen, which was published in 1773 and premiered in 1774, with the “Götz quote”: “But tell him, he can kiss my ass!” So Götz von Berlichingen certainly did not want to “greet” the emperor when he exclaimed: “But tell him, he can kiss my ass!” – he simply wanted to be left alone by the emperor.

Beautiful castle. Belongs to German cultural history.
