Burg Rotwasserstelz, Medieval castle in Hohentengen am Hochrhein, Germany
The stone fortress stands at 343 meters above sea level on a coral reef rock formation in the Malm region of Baden-Württemberg.
Built in the 12th century by the von Wasserstelz family, the castle received its first written mention in documents dating from 1163.
The castle served as the seat of the High Bailiff of Kaiserstuhl, overseeing several neighboring towns including Lienheim, Herdern, and Weiach.
The castle remains in private ownership and includes an old tower, customs office, barn, stables, rock cellar, and the red house.
Located at the northern bridgehead crossing to Switzerland, the castle faces the Aargau municipality of Kaiserstuhl across the Rhine River.
