Unteres Schloss, Medieval castle in Vellberg, Germany
The Unteres Schloss stands on elevated ground with stone walls, multiple towers, and defensive fortifications overlooking the surrounding Baden-Württemberg countryside.
Built during the Middle Ages, this fortified castle served as a strategic military position and residence for nobility in the Vellberg region.
The castle maintains traditional German architectural elements, including characteristic steep-roofed towers and medieval stone masonry techniques.
Guided tours of the castle provide access to the medieval courtyards, towers, and interior rooms throughout the spring and summer months.
The castle features an unusual combination of two separate defensive systems, with both an outer bailey and an inner fortified courtyard.
