History+
Presumably, the former moated castle was built before 1100 by Heinrich von Emerkingen. In the first half of the 14th century, the keep was built as a residential tower by the Lords of Emerkingen. Nothing remains of the moated castle. The keep received a clock and a bell in 1921. Today, the keep serves as a bell tower and local history museum.
