Schloss Stocksberg, Medieval castle in Brackenheim, Germany

The castle complex stands on a square plateau separated from Heuchelberg by a neck ditch, featuring a two-wing main building and a 30-meter tower.

First mentioned in 1220, Stocksberg Castle was transferred to the Teutonic Order in 1307 and underwent reconstruction in 1574 after peasants burned it down.

The castle sits within the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park, surrounded by traditional vineyards and agricultural fields that shape the regional identity.

While the castle remains in private ownership and closed to visitors, multiple hiking trails around the area offer clear views of its exterior structure.

During World War II, the castle served as accommodation for the Reich Labor Service and later transformed into a retirement home.
