CASTLE AND TOWER
Liebenzell Castle is a spur castle at 450 m above sea level on a sloping spur on the slope of the Schlossberg above the town of Bad Liebenzell in the district of Calw in Baden-Württemberg. Liebenzell Castle was once the most important castle in the Württemberg Black Forest.
The castle was built in the 12th century by the Counts of Calw. In 1196, the Counts of Eberstein are mentioned as the owners. From 1220 to 1230, the castle was extended and abandoned by the inhabitants in the 16th century; the complex fell into disrepair with the exception of the tower and the shield wall. At the beginning of the 1950s, the castle was rebuilt by the International Forum Burg Liebenzell e.V. as a place for political youth education and international youth exchange and has been operated as such until today.
The castle tower with its great view is open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
In the winter months and when the weather is bad, it remains closed due to the danger of slipping on the stairs.
