Beautiful castle, great location

The "Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity Hohenkressberg" belongs to Marktlustenau, a district of Kreßberg in the district of Schwäbisch Hall, Baden-Württemberg.

The castle was probably completed in 1227. In 1538 it was structurally expanded and added to by Heinrich Steinhäuser and after the expansion it was referred to as a palace, as was often the case in the 16th century. Source: wikipedia

The complex consists of a palace, the south building, built in 1571, and the well-preserved ring wall with the defensive towers. The overall condition of the complex is well preserved. The floor plan corresponds to that of a moated castle. It is surrounded by a moat, which is still very well preserved towards the town. Access to the castle is now via a stone bridge. It is assumed that the access was previously made of wood and provided with a drawbridge. The castle is surrounded by a ring wall, on the southwest side of which there is a round defensive tower and on the north side another smaller one. The south building leans against the large defensive tower. The palace is in the eastern part of the castle. This consists of a stone ground floor with two upper floors. This was later extended by a half-timbered floor with a steep roof. There is space for three more floors in the roof. Source: wikipedia

Rechenberg Castle, originally known as Burg Rechenberg, is a castle from the Staufer period on the Mühlweiher above the Rechenberger Rot on a promontory near Rechenberg, a district of the municipality of Stimpfach in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg

The castle towers over the town, then as now. Once the magnificent residence of the prince-provosts and later of the kings of Württemberg, the extensive complex in the middle of orchards now houses several state and district authorities as well as the castle museum. There is less pomp today, but the people have always been critical of that. When the king once resided there, his banner flew over the castle. The people of Ellwangen used to say: "The rag hangs outside, so the rags are inside!"

The Staufer stele has stood in front of the entrance gate to Ellwangen Castle since 2012, which dates back to a castle built around 1200 by Abbot Kuno I. The stele was created by the Stuttgart sculptor Markus Wolf. His workshop also produced the other Staufer steles, which are located in authentic locations to commemorate the Staufers, who were German kings and emperors in the High Middle Ages. There are currently 39 of these octagonal memorial stones. The first Staufer stele was inaugurated on December 13, 2000, the 750th anniversary of the death of the last Staufer emperor, Frederick II, in the ruins of Castel Fiorentino in Italy.

Rechenberg Castle is located in the district of Rechenberg in the rural town of Stimpfach. The first evidence of the castle dates back to 1229. Until 1405, the Knights of Rechenberg are documented as servants and stewards of the Counts of Oettingen. The castle was sold to the burgraves of Nuremberg and passed through several hands in 1409 to the Wollmershausen line, who received the entire Rechenberg domain from Ellwangen in 1429 to teach. The Adelmann family owned the small castle in the middle of the 15th century. In 1526, Ellwangen bought back the Rechenberg domain and sold part of it to the Steinhäuser von Neidenfels family. Under this name, the building was converted from a castle to a palace, triggered by the emperor granting it a high court in 1538. In the course of 1571, Rechenberg Castle was extended to include the front building. Today, Rechenberg Castle in the idyllic district of Schwäbisch Hall is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.
