A beautifully situated castle.

Beautiful castle on the lake postcard motif

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

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.
