Description

Krautheim Castle was built in 1213 by Wolfrad I of Krautheim on a mountain spur above Krautheim in the Hohenlohekreis in Baden-Württemberg. Of the extensive complex, the keep, the curtain wall, parts of the palas and an early Gothic chapel with a lordly gallery are still preserved today. After changing lordships, the complex is now owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg.
