Bielriet Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany.

The stone remnants of Bielriet Castle stand on a spur north of Wolpertsdorf district, revealing traces of former defensive structures and architectural elements.

First documented in 1057, the castle belonged to Friedrich von Bielriet, who held positions under Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa before the family disappeared from records after 1190.

The castle maintains connections to the Comburg-Rothenburg nobility and appears in Herrad von Landsberg's manuscript Hortus Deliciarum from the late 12th century.

The ruins of Bielriet Castle sit approximately 1.5 kilometers northwest of Wolpertsdorf, accessible through walking paths in Baden-Württemberg.

In 1352, the castle chapel hosted the foundation of a soul mass by Lupold and Dietrich Küchenmeister von Bielriet before its demolition in 1390.
