A hill castle was first built here between 1250 and 1330; today’s appearance is mostly a re-build after WW2, during which the original belfry had been severely damaged. The castle is home to a viticulture school, focusing on ecological approaches to wine-growing, as well as research on the local Württemberger wines.
