Burg Buchenbach, Medieval castle in Mulfingen, Germany.

Burg Buchenbach is a castle set on a hill above the village of Buchenbach with a rectangular layout and corner towers. The structure features a distinctive half-timbered gable from the 15th century that defines its overall appearance.

The castle was first mentioned in a 1340 sale deed from Gernot von Stetten to the Lords of Bächlingen, though the site was built in the 11th century by the Lords of Buchenbach. An inscription of 1356 credits Rüdiger von Bächlingen with building the castle with its integrated bergfried, and in the 15th century it was altered to its present form. Rezzo, the last of the Bächlingen, passed his share to Hohenlohe in 1403, which sold Buchenbach to Zürch von Stetten in 1418.

The castle shows building styles that were common in the Hohenlohe region and how medieval noble families designed their seats. Visitors can see medieval craftsmanship in the walls and the half-timbered gable.

The castle sits on a hill above the village and is visible from the surrounding area, but it remains in private ownership. Visitors should respect the access restrictions and only enter areas that are open to the public.

The main tower stands 14 metres high on a footprint of 13 by 20 metres, with walls about one metre thick. Its smaller square corner tower in the northwest rises roughly seven metres and, like the half-timbered gable, dates from the 15th century.
