History+

Between 1030 and 1050, the castle was built by Counts Egino and Rudolf von Achalm. It was first documented in 1090. In the same century, the complex was expanded with a lower castle. After a period during which the castle belonged to the Welfs, it passed into the possession of the Counts of Württemberg in 1376. By 1498, the castle was in a poor structural condition and was finally demolished around 1650.
