Where
Blaustein

Ruine Arnegg stands in Blaustein (Alb-Donau-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ruine Arnegg stands on a wooded spur above the village of Arnegg, in Blaustein, Baden-Württemberg. What remains, mainly sections of a large encircling wall, belonged to a medieval stronghold destroyed in the 14th century and later partly rebuilt before being dismantled in the 19th century. Part of the grounds now holds private residential buildings, so the site is best appreciated from the outside, along a walk through the woods.

What to know

  • The ruin can be visited freely from the outside, reached via a walk through the surrounding forest.
  • Part of the former castle grounds now holds private homes, which are not open to visitors.
  • There are no set hours or fees, as the site sits in open woodland.
  • Sturdy footwear is advisable for the forest path leading to the ruin.
  • What remains visible is mainly fragments of the former surrounding wall.
