Burg Beutelsbach stands in Weinstadt (Rems-Murr-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Beutelsbach, also known as Burgruine Kappelberg, stands on a rocky spur above the Beutelsbach district of Weinstadt. The site is considered the oldest known seat of the House of Württemberg, which is believed to have held its first family residence here before taking the name of Burg Wirtemberg. Only foundations and wall remnants survive today, uncovered during vineyard consolidation work in 1968. A visit here means exploring an open air archaeological site rather than an intact castle.

What to know

  • The site can be visited freely, outdoors, with no fixed opening hours.
  • What remains are low foundation walls and ruins, not a standing building.
  • Access is via a path leading up to the rocky spur, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
  • The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany.
