Burg Steinegg

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.

The site is managed today by the Protestant community of Pforzheim and provides space for various activities. Visitors should note that the property retains religious significance and may not always be fully accessible.

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.
