Ruine Schilteck, Medieval castle ruins in Schramberg, Germany

The remains include a quadratic defensive structure with a keep made of ashlar stones and an inner defensive wall at 520 meters above sea level.

Built around 1200 by the Dukes of Teck, the castle received its first written mention in 1225 and changed ownership multiple times until 1496.

The Lords of Schilteck controlled numerous farmsteads in the region and maintained a strategic position for monitoring traffic through the Schiltach Valley.

The castle ruins, maintained by the Höflevereinigung since 1953, offer free access to visitors and feature a preserved moat on the mountain side.

The structure served as part of a defensive line alongside Klingenburg and Schiltach Castle, all constructed under the authority of House Teck.
