Schloss Obersontheim, Renaissance château in Obersontheim, Germany.
The castle features three round towers, a drawbridge entrance, and forms a horseshoe-shaped structure that rises 10 meters above the old town center.
Built in 1543 by Count Erasmus of Limpurg after selling Limpurg Castle to Schwäbisch Hall, the château includes a main wing with the date inscribed on its keystone.
The building houses a nursing home operated by the Samaritan Foundation since 1904, maintaining its connection to community service and social care.
Located at the intersection of roads between Schwäbisch Hall, Ellwangen, Gaildorf, and Crailsheim, the castle stands at the northwestern foot of a gentle hill.
The octagonal stair tower contains a spiral staircase in the courtyard, while wooden rollers from the original drawbridge remain visible on the gate tower.
