Niederalfingen Castle, Renaissance castle in Hüttlingen, Germany.

The castle stands on a rocky hill spur above the Kocher valley, featuring a 30-meter-high bergfried with a copper tower and robust enceinte walls.

Originally constructed around 1050 as a Hohenstaufen fortification, the castle came under Fugger family ownership in 1551 who expanded the structure between 1575 and 1577.

The castle chapel displays Renaissance architectural elements and maintains dedications to Saint Mary, Saint Barbara, and Saint Catherine from the 16th century.

The castle functions as an educational facility with a youth training center, recreational areas, and a rural school residence for contemporary visitors.

The bergfried tower structure changes from a square base to a hexagonal upper section, incorporating embrasures with walls measuring 3.2 meters thick.
