History+

The origins of Daisbach moated castle likely date back to around 1200. It was first documented in 1366, when Kuntz von Massenheim sold the complex and the village to the Lords of Venningen. Extensive renovations and additions took place around 1400. In 1446, the inheritance passed to the owner's daughter, who was married to Matthias von Rammung. By 1497, the castle came into the possession of Albrecht V. Göler von Ravensburg. Emperor Rudolf II confirmed the Göler von Ravensburg family's ownership of the "fortress" in 1607, but it was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Karl Eberhard von Göler began reconstruction in 1730, referred to as a "completely new palace," but it remained unfinished due to his death. A temporary roof collapsed in 1844, and the complex gradually fell into disrepair, also serving as a quarry.
