Schloss Altensteig

Schloss Altensteig rises above the old town with its stone walls, defensive towers, and architectural features characteristic of medieval German fortifications.

The castle evolved from a military fortress into a noble residence through different periods, maintaining its position as a regional administrative center.

The castle museum displays over 400 exhibits, including postcards, wall paintings, busts, and books that showcase the regional traditions and heritage.

Visitors receive discounted entry when presenting valid bwtarif tickets, D-Ticket JugendBW, or Deutschland-Ticket for their journey to the castle.

The castle's Christmas exhibition organizes its artifacts according to five guardian angel duties: protection from external danger, internal danger, divine guidance, moral instruction, and life support.
