Burg Beutelsbach, Medieval castle in Weinstadt, Germany
Burg Beutelsbach is a medieval fortress on Kappelberg hill with views over the vineyards of the Rems Valley. The structure features thick stone walls that have shaped the landscape for centuries.
The fortress was built around 1080 and served as the seat of the Counts of Württemberg. Later they moved their residence and the castle lost political importance.
The castle houses the Museum Wiege Württembergs, which tells the story of the Württemberg ruling family's origins. The displays show how this location represents the roots of an important regional dynasty.
The castle is easily reached on foot from the village center via paths to the Kappelberg hill. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since pathways are uneven and stairs are present.
In 1514 the revolt of the Poor Conrad began on the castle grounds, a peasant uprising against taxes and abuse. This local conflict foreshadowed the larger peasant wars that shook the region a decade later.
