Brenz Castle, Renaissance castle in Sontheim an der Brenz, Germany
The stone structure stands on a hill, featuring Renaissance architecture with visible portions of medieval foundation walls dating from earlier constructions.
Following destruction during the Thirty Years' War, Duke Friedrich Ferdinand commissioned the reconstruction of the castle in 1672 on the previous medieval foundations.
The Community Heritage Museum within the castle displays regional artifacts and fossils, representing the earliest such collection in the Württemberg region since 1906.
Visitors can access the castle museum and attend concerts on Sundays and holidays, with additional viewing opportunities available through scheduled appointments.
Emperor Charles V resided at the castle during the Schmalkaldic War in 1546, marking a significant period in the property's noble history.
