Burg Schweinberg, Castle ruin in Hardheim, Germany
The Schweinberg Castle stands on a limestone spur at 345 meters above sea level, rising 30 meters above the village in eastern Odenwald.
The earliest documented mention of the castle dates to 1098, with the noble family de Swenenburg residing there until the last member fell in 1167.
The castle features a 15-meter-high keep with ashlar masonry, while its ornate double-arched window is preserved in the Baden State Museum.
The castle ruins remain accessible throughout the year without entrance fees, with parking spaces available in the village center of Schweinberg.
The castle controlled a medieval trade route connecting Würzburg through Tauberbischofsheim to the Lower Main region.
