Burg Krautheim stands in Krautheim (Hohenlohekreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Krautheim stands on a rocky spur above the town of Krautheim, at the northernmost bend of the Jagst river. Founded around the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries by the von Krautheim family, it still preserves its Romanesque keep, part of its shield wall, remnants of the great hall and an early Gothic chapel with a lord's gallery. The former hall building now houses a museum displaying, among other things, models tracing the site's development.

What to know

The 30-metre keep is reached via a wooden footbridge from the great hall and then an internal staircase leading up to the viewing platform.
The castle houses a museum on its history, located in the former great hall.
The early Gothic chapel, with its lord's gallery, is among the preserved features open to visitors.
The site is owned today by the state of Baden-Württemberg, while the adjoining manor house remains privately owned.
