Nellenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Stockach, Germany.
Description
Nellenburg is a castle ruin located on a hilltop about two kilometers west of Stockach's old town center. Visitors can still see sections of the main tower and front wall standing among the ruins.
History
The castle was first recorded in 1056 as a seat of Count Eberhard. From 1465 to 1805, it served as an administrative center for Further Austria.
Culture
The Counts of Nellenburg established the Benedictine monastery of All Saints in Schaffhausen in 1049, marking their influence on regional religious development.
Practical
The ruins are accessible on foot and offer good viewpoints across the surrounding area. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the ground is uneven and partly steep.
Did you know?
Between 1886 and 1922, a wooden observation tower stood on the inner wall ring, built by Stockach's beautification association. This temporary structure has long since disappeared from the site.
