Burg Berlichingen

Burg Berlichingen, Medieval castle in Berlichingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Burg Berlichingen, also called Schloss Berlichingen, was a water castle in the Berlichingen district of Schöntal in the Hohenlohekreis. Its core was a tower-like three-storey stone house; the site is now in private ownership and is referred to as a Schloss in 17th-century records.

Originally constructed in the 13th century as a fortified residence for the Lords of Berlichingen, the castle became renowned as the birthplace of Götz von Berlichingen around 1480, the famous knight with an iron prosthetic hand who participated in the German Peasants' War.

The name Berlichingen comes from the Lords of Berlichingen, whose ancestral seat this was; from 1292 the castle was a Hohenlohe fief and from 1347 a Würzburg fief. The village and castle share the family name, and the site is now privately owned.

Currently in private ownership, the castle offers limited public access requiring prior arrangement for visits, with the structure located in the village center of Berlichingen and accessible by regional roads from nearby towns in the Hohenlohe district.

The castle was probably built in the 13th century as a tower-like three-storey stone house, and it was a fief of the Hohenlohe family from 1292 and of Würzburg from 1347. It is also called Schloss Berlichingen and is privately owned today.
