Nippenburg, Castle ruin in Schwieberdingen, Germany
The remains of Nippenburg Castle stand on a hilltop overlooking the Glems river valley, featuring high curtain walls and a preserved barn from 1483.
The castle, first documented in the Codex Hirsaugiensis of 1160, served as a residence for local nobles until its transformation into a stone quarry after 1700.
In 1283, the castle hosted a significant gathering of regional leaders, including Count Albrecht II of Hohenberg and Count Eberhard I of Württemberg.
Located 14 kilometers from Stuttgart at coordinates 48.8614 latitude and 9.0583 longitude, the site underwent restoration work between 1979 and 1984.
The castle features two baileys with vaulted cellars, while natural defenses of swamps and steep slopes protected it from capture throughout its active period.
