Burg Sternenfels stands in Sternenfels (Enzkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Sternenfels once crowned the 375 metre Schlossberg above the village that bears its name. Built of white sandstone by the lords of Sternenfels in the early 13th century, it later passed to the Liebenstein family and was then pledged to Württemberg, before being torn down in the late 18th century. Only an earthen rampart and a ditch remain today, and the hill is now marked by a modern lookout tower offering views over the Stromberg and Heuchelberg hills.

What to know

  • Of the medieval castle itself only an earthen rampart and a ditch survive, no original buildings remain standing.
  • The summit of the Schlossberg is now occupied by a 14 metre lookout tower, built in 1967 in the shape of a keep.
  • The tower houses an exhibition on the history of the lords of Sternenfels and the geology of the Stromberg and Heuchelberg area.
  • Reaching the site involves a climb to the top of the Schlossberg above the village of Sternenfels.
