Schloss Unterriexingen, Medieval castle in Markgröningen, Germany
Schloss Unterriexingen is a stone fortress situated on a raised terrace in the Enz Valley, distinguished by its massive square tower. The property includes a park and garden area with several historic outbuildings distributed across the grounds.
The site originated around 1100 as a Staufen fortification and underwent expansion in subsequent centuries. Significant architectural reworking occurred in the early 1800s when contemporary design elements were introduced.
The location served as a residence for noble families and shaped the region's identity for centuries. The buildings and grounds reflect how such fortifications anchored the political and economic life of their time.
When visiting, note that the site operates as a private business with restricted access that typically requires advance arrangements or special occasions. The grounds offer walking paths, and parking is available near the village edge.
Today the grounds operate as a specialized animal boarding hotel that accommodates and cares for dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. This unexpected modern use has given the historical location an entirely new purpose.
