Hettingen Castle

Hettingen Castle can be traced back to a castle complex from the 11th century. It was situated in a dominant position on a rocky ridge east of the town (a 40-meter difference in elevation lies between the town center and the castle). The Counts of Gammertingen are named as the builders of the medieval castle complex around 1120. Today, only the high shield wall in the north and the gate entrance remain of the former medieval castle. The residential building of today's Hettingen Castle was built directly adjacent to it around 1720 by Baron Franz-Anton von Speth.
