Burg Duttenberg

Bad Friedrichshall, Germany, Germany

---

Burg Duttenberg is a historic castle site in the Duttenberg district of Bad Friedrichshall, Baden-Württemberg.

Its origins date back to around the year 800, making it one of the oldest noble residences in the region. The estate developed from an early Frankish manor into a medieval castle that played an important role in local administration and land ownership. During the Middle Ages, the castle was associated with the Lords of Weinsberg and later the Lords of Wittstatt.

In the 17th century, it came under the ownership of the Teutonic Order, which gradually transformed the property from a fortified stronghold into a largely agricultural estate. Today, only traces of the original castle remain. A manor house, historic wine press, church, and sections of old walls mark the former castle grounds. Although much of the fortification has disappeared, the site remains an important reminder of Duttenberg’s medieval heritage and long history.
