Rügland Castle is a two-part moated castle complex in Rügland. It is one of the few moated castles in Middle Franconia and was renovated by 1983. Since 1584, the estate has belonged to the Barons of Crailsheim. The Rügland area was already settled during the Stone Age; the first mention of the place dates back to 1137. At that time, ownership of Rügland was granted to Berta, the widow of Gerunch von Wielandsheim. In 1147, Rügland passed as a fief to the St. Gumbert Abbey in Ansbach. By 1298 at the latest, the Lords of Vestenberg owned Rosenberg Castle and the moated castle in Rügland. In 1437, the Rügland line of Vestenbergs died out, and the castle passed to the Rosenberg branch, although it remained a family seat. The only remaining relic of the castle is a cellar.
