Description

Jagsthausen Castle, later also called the Old Castle and more recently Götzenburg, in reference to Goethe's drama Götz von Berlichingen, in Jagsthausen in the district of Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg, is one of the ancestral seats of the lords of Berlichingen. The hilltop castle, situated on a slope above the Jagst valley, has been the backdrop for open-air plays since 1950.
