Dautenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Seelbach, Germany.

The stone structure displays rectangular architecture with four round corner towers set against the landscape of Baden-Wurttemberg.

Built around 1235 by Imperial Ministerials, the castle formed a strategic defense line with Tiefburg Schwanau and Tiefburg Lahr fortresses.

The castle received designation as a cultural heritage site by Landesverein Badische Heimat in 2005, marking its regional importance.

Located 900 meters from Schoene Aussicht Apartment, the castle grounds offer direct walking access for visitors exploring local landmarks.

Following destruction in 1636 by Count von Gallas, the castle remained abandoned until Philipp Carl Schmidt initiated renovations in 1812.
