View of Kapfenburg Castle
Highlight • Viewpoint
After the fall of the Staufer, the Counts of Oettingen and their liege lords, the Lords of Gromberg, took over a large part of the land around the Kapfenburg. In 1364 the Teutonic Order House Mergentheim acquired the castle. It was the last founding of the order in southern Germany. The religious state in Prussia and the religious houses in the empire were already growing apart. Above all, the Kapfenburg bears witness to a small spiritual and knightly residence of the late Middle Ages and early modern times.
In the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, Napoleon revoked the Teutonic Order and awarded the Kapfenburg to King Friedrich of Württemberg. It has been owned by the land since then. The Kapfenburg was never destroyed. In line with the functional change from a fortified castle to a residential palace with administrative headquarters, it was converted into an idiosyncratic architectural ensemble through renovations and additions, which combines architectural styles from very different eras.
The Kapfenburg is worth a visit
