Burg Reichenberg (Baden-Württemberg) stands in Oppenweiler (Rems-Murr-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 13th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Reichenberg rises above Oppenweiler, in the Rems-Murr-Kreis, in Baden-Württemberg. Built in the 13th century, it is considered the best-preserved Romanesque castle in the district, with a keep whose walls reach four metres in thickness and a massive shield wall topped by a timber-framed gallery. A residential wing added in the 16th century, known as the Schloss, completes the medieval complex. The site today houses a social care facility and can only be visited within that context.

What to know

  • The castle is not freely open to the public, it currently houses a social care residence.
  • Group visits are only possible with advance registration.
  • No opening hours, fees or visit duration are set for general visitors.
  • The building stands on a height above the village of Oppenweiler, so some walking is required to reach it.
