Schauenburg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Oberkirch, Germany.
The stone remains of Schauenburg Castle stand at 397 meters above sea level, featuring two residential towers, a gate tower, and defensive walls.
Duke Berthold II of Zähringen constructed Schauenburg Castle between 1070 and 1090 as a fortress to control the Renchtal valley region.
The castle stones were later used to build Gaisbach Castle, where author Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen wrote his works.
The castle ruins contain a small museum in the former chapel cellar and provide access to viewpoints over the surrounding landscape.
Between 1402 and 1403, the castle became the center of a territorial dispute between the lords of Schauenburg and Bernhard von Baden.
