Tannenburg, Spur castle in Bühlertann, Germany.
The castle occupies a strategic position on a western ridge of the Ellwanger Berge, rising 110 meters above the Bühlertal valley at 485 meters elevation.
The Abbey of Ellwangen constructed this border fortress between the 11th and 12th centuries, with official documentation first appearing in regional records from 1223.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Maria Magdalena, incorporates Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements from the 13th century within its stone walls.
The property functions as a school landhome and educational farm, providing opportunities for learning about agriculture and medieval history through direct experience.
Three successive moats and a large accessible shield wall make this structure one of the most complete examples of shield wall castles in Württemberg.
