Eutingen Castle

The Eutingen ruin, also called Eutingertal, Eutinger Tal, is the ruin of a spur castle at 450 m above sea level over the Talbach in the Eutinger Tal southwest of Eutingen, municipality of Eutingen im Gäu in the district of Freudenstadt (Baden-Württemberg).

Built in the second half of the 13th century, the castle was the seat of the Lords of Eutingen and came into the possession of the Böcklin family around 1300, from which Conrad Böckling called himself "uf Utinger Thal" in 1295. In the 15th century, the castle came into the possession of the Schütz, in the 16th century to the von Ow, around 1680 to the von Wernau and in 1723 to the Schenken von Stauffenberg. In 1818, the castle was sold for demolition.

From the former castle complex, the remains of a five-meter-high round tower in front of the south wing, remains of the shield wall, cellar vaults, round-arched windows and loopholes are preserved.
