History+

Klingenstein Castle was built in 1756 on the foundations and old cellar vaults of the northern castle of Klingenstein Castle by Baron Franz Maria Anton von Bernhausen. After the expansion of Oberherrlingen Castle, the Lords of Bernhausen had moved their main residence there in 1588. Klingenstein Castle changed owners several times. Among other things, it came to Bavaria in 1803. In 1860, the Ulm pharmacist Gustav Ernst Leube bought the small castle, which was intended for demolition, from the municipality of Klingenstein. Leube is also known as the founder of the German cement industry. The castle became the summer residence of the Leube-Schall family.

Current condition+

Klingenstein Castle today consists of the inhabited castle with the castle chapel of the Holy Trinity and the castle courtyard. To the south of it is the forester's house in the former neck ditch.
