Schloss Remseck

Schloss Remseck is a Gothic Revival castle in Neckarrems featuring a two-wing structure with stepped gables, a three-story corner tower, and views overlooking where the Neckar and Rems rivers meet. The estate dominates the landscape at this river confluence and shapes the visual character of the area.

The castle was built in 1841 by Major Franz von Grimm on the site where the earlier Burg Rems once stood, with roots going back to the 11th century. This construction continued a long tradition of fortified buildings at this strategically important location.

From 1967 to 1991, the castle served as a venue for an art gallery run by the Innere and Knyphausen family, shaping the region's cultural scene. The gallery drew art enthusiasts and made the estate a cultural meeting point for the area.

The privately owned castle is accessible via Schlossweg in Remseck am Neckar, but visitors should respect access restrictions and the privacy of residents. The best views of the building often come from outside along the riverside.

The town of Remseck am Neckar officially took its name from the castle in 1977, honoring its central importance to the merged communities. This rare example of a city naming shows how profoundly the building shaped local identity.
