Burg Steinegg, Medieval castle in Neuhausen, Germany.
Burg Steinegg is a medieval castle in Neuhausen that rises from an elevated position in the Enzkreis region. The structure displays late medieval construction methods with fortified elements and has been restored over recent decades.
The site was founded around 1150 by Adalbert von Steinegg and passed to Wolf I von Stain in the 14th century. In the 15th century the Gemmingen family took over and shaped its development significantly.
The castle chapel dates to the early 16th century and shows how nobility practiced their faith. Today the Protestant community continues to use this space for religious activities and events.
Burg Steinegg stands at 410 m in a wooded area on the edge of the village of Steinegg, about 15 km southeast of Pforzheim. The Protestant community of Pforzheim runs it as a holiday and leisure centre used mainly by schools, kindergartens and youth groups, with an inn on site. A brochure describing the building's history is available for visitors.
The property remained relatively unscathed during the Thirty Years War while other castles in the region suffered greatly. This sparing was due to efforts by its lords at the time, who preserved its original structures.
