Schloss Rechenberg, Medieval castle in Stimpfach, Germany.

The castle stands on a promontory above Mühlweiher, featuring a three-story main building with timber-framed top floor and defensive towers along its ring walls.

Built before 1227, the castle served as residence for the Knights of Rechenberg who acted as stewards for the Counts of Oettingen until 1405.

The structure transformed from a military fortress into a residential castle in 1538 when Emperor Charles granted high court jurisdiction privileges.

The castle maintains its private status, requiring visitors to observe posted restrictions and respect the current inhabitants' privacy.

Heinrich Steinhäuser von Neidenfels conducted extensive renovations in 1571, establishing the castle's current architectural configuration with its distinctive south wing.
