Burg Tierberg, Medieval castle in Braunsbach, Germany
The castle stands on a pointed ridge between two side valleys of the Kocher river, featuring a trapezoidal layout with defensive walls and a square keep.
Built around 1220 by the Lords of Langenburg through their vassal Arnold von Tierbach, the castle controlled two major trading routes in the Hohenlohe region.
The castle gained literary recognition as 'Schloss Schweigen' in Agnes Günther's novel 'Die Heilige und ihr Narr', which was translated into 17 languages.
The castle remains in private ownership and visitors can observe its exterior architecture and peek through the main gate into the outer bailey.
During World War II and its aftermath, sections of the castle served as a book repository for the University of Berlin's collection.
