Schloss Lichtenegg, Medieval château in Epfendorf, Germany.

The castle comprises two asymmetrical wings connected by a narrow building, forming a contained courtyard on an elevated position above Schenkenbach Valley.

Originally called Harthausen Castle until 1836, the structure was built around 1560 on medieval foundations, with parts of the Romanesque cellar still preserved.

The Renaissance chapel, dedicated to Saint Michael in 1720, represents the religious significance of the structure within the Baden-Württemberg region.

The castle remains under private ownership and access to the interior spaces is restricted, though surrounding hiking trails allow views of the exterior.

The structure stands as the only maintained and inhabited castle in the upper Neckar Valley, featuring a knights' hall with original wooden beam ceilings.
