Burg Bönnigheim, Medieval castle in Bönnigheim, Germany.
Description
Burg Bönnigheim is a medieval castle complex positioned at the northeastern corner of the city fortifications, featuring a multi-story residential building with a staircase tower. The remaining structure is characterized by a round tower that visitors can observe from the exterior and courtyard areas.
History
The castle was built in the 12th century and suffered severe damage during the Peasants' War of 1525, followed by reconstruction in 1546 under shared administration. This reconstruction phase shaped the form in which the structure survives today.
Culture
The structure displays characteristics of medieval German architecture through its varied window designs and corbels on the southern gable. These details reveal how fortified residences were built during this period.
Practical
The castle has a parking area available for visitors and is accessible from the exterior and courtyard. The best time to view the architectural details is during daylight hours when all features are clearly visible.
Did you know?
The tower contains a bell from 1359 originally from the Cyriakuskirche that was installed in 1898 when the round tower received its conical roof. This bell connects the castle's history with the neighboring church across multiple centuries.
