Neckarsteinach, Medieval town with four castles near Heidelberg, Germany
Neckarsteinach stands at the confluence of Steinach brook and Neckar river, surrounded by forested hills and marked by stone fortifications along its river banks.
The settlement received its town charter in the early 1400s and gained significance as an open house for Count Palatine Ruprecht in 1377.
The Late Gothic Evangelical Church, rebuilt in 1483, contains stone epitaphs and artworks from the Landschad von Steinach noble family collection.
The town connects to major regional centers through the Neckartalbahn railway line and Bundestrasse 37 road, with regular service to Heidelberg and Frankfurt.
Between 1100 and 1230, the Landschad von Steinach family constructed four distinct castles: Vorderburg, Mittelburg, Hinterburg, and Schadeck.
