The castle Eichstetten is an Outbound Spur castle on a hill next to the village Eichstetten, in the municipality of Eichstetten am Kaiserstuhl in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg .
The castle was built by the lords of Eichstetten , proven in the 12th century , a branch of the Hessonen and ancestors of the later lords of Üsenberg . It was first mentioned in 1113, according to other sources around 1130 (as "Eistat castrum" in the Rotulus Sanpetrinus ).
On November 13, 1315 the castle was sold to the Burkart III from Üsenberg. and Gebhart. (According to Franz Xaver Kraus , the Üsenberg family owned the castle as early as 1314.) In the Tennenbacher Güterbuch the castle is still referred to as “castrum” around 1320, so it could still have been intact and was then possibly destroyed in the Kaiserstuhl war in 1321/22 . In any case, the finds of a thick layer of ash, a container with charred grain as well as weapons and other iron on the castle area speak for violent destruction. In the year 1356 the castle is explicitly called "Burgstal".
Traces of the terrain such as the moat still bear witness to the castle .
