Schloss Unterriexingen, Medieval castle in Markgröningen, Germany
The rectangular stone fortress stands on a high terrace in the Enz Valley, featuring a 32-meter square tower with walls reaching 2.5 meters thick.
Originally constructed around 1100 as a Staufer fortification, the castle underwent significant expansion in the 18th century and received a neoclassical redesign in 1809.
The castle served as the residence of noble families, including the Barons Leutrum von Ertingen and later the Princes of Ratibor and Corvey.
The castle grounds include remnants of the original enclosing wall, a 40,000-square-meter park, and several preserved estate buildings to the south.
The castle now functions as TierSchlossHotel, a specialized boarding facility for pets, offering care services for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals.
