Burgschloss Schorndorf, Renaissance fortress in Schorndorf, Germany
The castle features four wings in a trapezoidal layout with substantial round towers at each corner and a half-timbered interior courtyard.
Built in 1538 at the location of an older water castle, the fortress became the strongest defensive structure in the entire duchy during the 16th century.
The towers display notable inscriptions and coats of arms, while the main portal incorporates a medieval stone machicolation for defensive purposes.
The castle currently houses the district court, and while the exterior remains accessible year-round, the interior spaces are closed to public visits.
The castle survived the fire of 1634 and maintained a permanent garrison, with several princely chambers leading to its designation as Burgschloss.
