Warthof, Medieval castle ruin in Aspach, Germany
The Warthof ruins stand on a hill between Wolfsklinge and Winterlauter valleys, featuring remnants of sandstone walls and a fortified moat.
The castle, constructed in the early 12th century by the Margraves of Baden, became part of Württemberg territory through a marriage alliance in 1297.
The castle site includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Lawrence, reflecting the medieval religious practices of German nobility in their fortified residences.
The remaining structures of Warthof now serve as a forestry office, with restricted access to the actual medieval castle ruins.
The fortress formed a defensive triangle with two other castles: Katzenschwanz across the valley and an unnamed fortification to the south.
