Schloss Leonberg, Medieval castle in Leonberg, Germany
The stone castle stands on a hilltop with rectangular towers and features multiple architectural elements from different construction periods throughout its structure.
Count Ulrich I of Württemberg established the castle in 1248, followed by major modifications between 1560 and 1565 under Duke Christoph's direction.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of German defensive structures, combining medieval fortification elements with Renaissance period modifications.
The castle currently serves as the district court and tax office of Leonberg, making internal visits restricted to official business purposes.
Duchess Sibylla, widow of Frederick I of Württemberg, selected this castle as her residence in 1609, marking a transition from military to residential use.
