Schloss Blumenfeld, Medieval castle in Tengen, Germany.
Schloss Blumenfeld is a five-sided castle located on a limestone plateau about 40 meters (131 feet) high overlooking the Bibertal valley. The structure comprises two connected T-shaped buildings with a spiral staircase connecting the interior spaces.
The castle was built around 1300 and rebuilt following destruction in 1499. It then served the Teutonic Order as an administrative center until the early 1800s.
The interior displays Renaissance elements including two fireplaces with figurative designs and period decorative paintings on the walls. This decoration reflects the building style found throughout the region.
Today the castle functions as a cultural venue offering co-working spaces, guest accommodations, and a café within its rooms. Visitors can explore the grounds on alternating Sundays during afternoon hours.
The castle successfully withstood attack during the cities' war of 1441, proving the effectiveness of its defensive design. This military strength was a key reason for its long-lasting importance in the region.
