Altensteig Castle

The residential tower of the Old Castle is presumably the only undestroyed medieval castle in the Black Forest. The two round towers of the castle are popularly called Heaven and Hell. The master builder of the Altensteig Castle, built in 1604, was Heinrich Schickardt (1558-1635).
