Burg Brie, Medieval castle in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, Germany
Burg Brie is a medieval castle ruin in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt whose foundations reveal a residential tower with a square floor plan. The tower's thick walls and compact design reflect typical defensive construction methods of the period.
The castle was founded in the 12th century by the Lords of Berg and stood on the left bank of the Neckar River. The settlement in this area was called Brye during medieval times and formed part of the region's early development.
The castle site represents an important element in understanding medieval fortification systems and architectural developments in the Stuttgart region.
The castle site is today located in the heart of Bad Cannstatt where only archaeological traces of the structure remain. Visitors will find a quiet area by the river that is accessible for walking and exploration.
The foundations were discovered in 1856 during construction of bathhouses designed to exploit the region's mineral springs. This accidental find revealed how closely the castle site was connected to the area's geology and natural resources.
