Altes Schloss, Renaissance castle in Gaildorf, Germany
The four-winged castle complex stands by the Kocher River, featuring half-timbered construction on stone foundations with corner towers and galleries.
Count Albrecht von Limpurg-Gaildorf-Schmiedelfeld initiated the construction in 1479, replacing an earlier water castle documented in 1399 at the same location.
The Wurmbrandsaal, with its decorated coffered ceiling, serves as a chamber music concert hall and ceremonial space for various performances.
The castle houses the Theresientaler Heimatstuben city museum and hosts regular art exhibitions organized by the IG Kunst organization.
The cellar vaults contain an exhibition titled 'Hexen, Henker und Halunken' presenting the history of criminal justice in the Limpurg region.
