The Amthof in Oberderdingen , a municipality in the district of Karlsruhe ( Baden-Württemberg ), was built in the early 14th century as a fortified care yard for the Herrenalb monastery . In addition to the actual administration building, the complex also includes the Laurentius Church and large farm buildings such as the large wine press . The witch's tower has been preserved from the original four towers of the Amthof in Oberderdingen .

Buildings

  • The Laurentiuskirche was built under Duke Ludwig von Württemberg from 1571 to 1574 and was the first simple preaching church in Württemberg after the castle church in Stuttgart's old castle in the form of the transverse church without a choir room and with galleries and stalls facing the pulpit on a longitudinal wall. The free-standing bell tower goes back to the grain box of the Pflegehof that was built in 1306/07 and, after the church was built, was given a tower dome, which was renewed in its current form in 1717.
  • The core of the official building dates back to 1391. After the abolition of the monastery in 1534 it was the seat of a bailiff and has been a Protestant parsonage since 1808.
  • The large wine press has been documented since 1500 and was built in its current form after a fire in 1693. The tithe barn dates from 1592 and was converted into the town hall in 1985.
  • The Hexenturm is one of the original four fortification towers of the Pflegehof. The tower was temporarily arrested; today an exhibition on the history of the Amthof is shown there.
  • Other buildings in the Amthof include the abbot's chapel , the band house , the gatekeeper's house as well as a fire brigade shed from the 18th century and the historic walling.
