Burg Streichenberg, Medieval castle in Gemmingen, Germany.
Burg Streichenberg sits on a low mountain spur behind Schloss Schomberg, featuring thick defensive walls and Renaissance portals from the 16th century.
The castle changed ownership multiple times, passing from Herren von Mentzingen in 1360 to the Counts of Degenfeld by 1560, reflecting the region's nobility transitions.
The preserved sections of the bergfried and forecourt demonstrate the architectural techniques and defensive strategies employed in medieval German fortification construction.
The castle remains are accessible through marked pathways, with nearby points of interest including Schloss Schomberg at 0.59 kilometers and Unteres Schloss at 1.72 kilometers.
Parts of the original medieval structure incorporate distinct Renaissance modifications, creating a layered architectural composition that spans different historical periods.
