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.

Here next to the church is the moated castle in Rügland.

Moated castle in Rügland. You should definitely stop by here for a moment. From April 1714, Hannibal Friedrich Freiherr von Crailsheim had the "New Palace" built, which forms the central and southern wings of the entire complex. The plans came from Baron Karl Friedrich von Zocha, who later became the Ansbach court architect and margravial minister. The first floor of the "New Castle" now serves as a family museum for the Lords of Crailsheim, who still live in the castle during the summer,[1] and as a venue for events. Finds from the excavation at Rosenberg Castle are shown there. The central hall has a ceiling painting with mythological depictions, as well as a portrait gallery of nobles.

In terms of location, Lichtenau is the "Nuremberg thorn in the side of the Margraves." Yes, the Margraves of Ansbach didn't like that 😜! A knight's tournament takes place here every year.... https://www.mittelalterfest.net/index.php?id=228&L=0
