Schloss Adelmannsfelden, Medieval château in Adelmannsfelden, Germany

History
The castle's construction started around 1136 as a medieval fortification. The 18th century brought major rebuilding that transformed the fortress from a military stronghold into a residential manor.

The château functions as a private residence of the Adelmann family and requires advance permission to visit. Guests must respect the family's guidelines when exploring the property.
