Lichtenberg Castle in the Bottwartal valley is one of the most impressive hilltop castles in south-west Germany. Picturesquely situated above the vineyards of Oberstenfeld, it houses architectural evidence from seven centuries: Romanesque keeps from the Staufer period, a richly decorated Gothic chapel and authentic Renaissance buildings. Its history is closely linked to the development of the regional nobility, the rise of the Württembergs and the long ownership of the von Weiler family. From its foundation to its dramatic rescue in April 1945 by a courageous baroness, this publication offers a compact and richly illustrated tribute to the castle and its architectural history. Vivid texts, historical illustrations and contemporary photos bring its eventful past to life. An ideal introduction for castle enthusiasts and those interested in culture.
