Crailsheim Castle

The castle Crailsheim is an Outbound castle at the southern end of the grave street in the city Crailsheim in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

The castle was probably built in the 13th century as the ancestral seat of the family of the Lords of Crailsheim , first mentioned in 1221 and still existing today, and probably destroyed by the imperial cities during a siege of the city between 1379 and 1380.

The wooden castle stables were built over with the residential buildings "Grabenstrasse 15".
