Burg Veringen

The castle remains sit on a 675-meter-high ridge surrounded by the Lauchert River, featuring thick walls and a rectangular residential tower.

Built between 1100 and 1130 by Count Marquard of Veringen, the castle underwent major reconstruction around 1200 with characteristic ashlar masonry techniques.

The late Romanesque St. Peter's Chapel from the 10th century served as the castle chapel and stands as a testament to medieval religious architecture.

Following restoration work between 1978 and 1983, visitors can freely explore the castle ruins and observe the remaining structures of the fortification.

The castle walls, measuring up to 3.5 meters thick, incorporate a specialized construction technique using rectangular stones with raised central surfaces.
