The former Bielriet Castle was built as a spur castle above the Bühlertal across from Cröffelbach. Its job was to protect the trade route from Schwäbisch Hall to Rothenburg.
The castle was first mentioned in 1057. A trace of the Lords of Bielrieth leads to the nearby Comburg monastery, when in 1085 an Adelbertus de Bielrieth entered as a monk. Another representative of the von Bielriet family, Friedrich von Bielrieth, held important offices under Emperor Barbarossa. However, there have been no other documented mentions of the family since 1190. Accordingly, it was probably extinct in the male line at this time.
In the 13th century ownership of the castle fell to the Lords of Limpurg. Under the owners of the 14th century, the Reich Ministerial Kitchen Master from Nordenberg, the castle became a robber baron's castle.
After that, the Counts of Hohenlohe took possession of the castle, whereby it was now pledged to Bohemia and returned to the Hohenlohe family as a fief. The last owner from 1381 was the Schwäbisch Hall city nobility Eberhard Philipp. He received the castle to settle debts from the Hohenlohern. Eberhard Philipp again sold the castle in 1390 to the city council of Schwäbisch Hall, which finally blew up the castle. For this unauthorized crime, King Wenceslas imposed a three-year imperial ban on the city.
Some remains of the wall can still be discovered. The moat can also still be seen as a deep cut.
Some traces have been blurred because there was a brief quarry here.
