Ruine Schiltach, Medieval castle ruin in Schiltach, Germany.
The stone remnants of Ruine Schiltach stand at 420 meters above sea level, overlooking the Kinzig Valley in the Black Forest region.
Built before 1250 by the Dukes of Teck, the castle changed ownership to the Counts of Württemberg in 1381 through the Urslingen family.
The ruins maintain their connection to local heritage through a museum in Schiltach's market square, which displays a reconstruction of the original castle.
Visitors can access the castle site via a wooden bridge over the former moat, where benches provide viewing spots among the foundation remains.
The castle's stones found new purpose after the 1791 city fire when residents used them to rebuild their homes, leading to official dismantling in 1829.
