The Alt-Urach Castle is the ruin of a castle in Lenzkirch in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald ( Baden-Württemberg ) in the Black Forest .
location
The ruin is right at the entrance to Titisee-Neustadt on the right hand side of the federal highway 315 on a ledge above the Haslach valley .
history
The castle complex was built in the 13th century by the lords of Urach. There is a documentary mention in 1316 as burg ze Úra .
It was owned by the Lords of Blumegg in the 14th and 15th centuries and was the center of the Lenzkirch rule . In 1491 it was sold to the Counts of Fürstenberg , but at that time it was already known as the Burgstall , that is, uninhabitable. It has been owned by the community of Lenzkirch since 1972 and is looked after by the Black Forest Association Lenzkirch.
investment
Around 1404 a house was added to the original castle with its square residential tower and wall ring . The brickwork was renovated in 1995/96 by the Black Forest Association Lenzkirch.
