Heubach Castle, a 16th-century edifice, stands in the town of Heubach in the Ostalb district. Originally built on the site of a former rectory, it now serves as a cultural center and museum.

History+

Prior to the castle's construction, a rectory belonging to Königsbronn Abbey occupied this site until 1524. In 1525, Georg VII. von Woellwarth acquired the land through a trade and had a three-story rectangular building erected. After his death, the castle served as the residence for his widow, Barbara Eckbrecht von Türckheim. Later, Johann von Wessen purchased the property after marrying Maria Magdalena von Woellenwarth. His second wife, Heinrica Louisa Schertlin von Burtenbach, sold the castle to Württemberg in 1726.
