Schloss Kirchberg an der Jagst

The castle stands prominently on a hill, featuring both Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements with a grand knights' hall and multiple towers.

Originally constructed in 1240 as a fortress by the Knights of Kirchberg, the structure underwent major transformations in 1590 and 1735 under Hohenlohe-Kirchberg rule.

The castle hosts classical music concerts in the Rittersaal throughout the year, including six subscription concerts featuring chamber music performances and vocal works.

The castle functions as a biohotel with meeting spaces, including the Rittersaal for 250 people and Rokokosaal for 60 people, suitable for conferences.

The establishment operates as an interdisciplinary center focusing on ecological agriculture, hosting a farmer's school and supporting sustainable farming practices in the Hohenlohe region.
