Fluorn Castle

The castle Fluorn is an Outbound hilltop castle at Fluorn-Winzeln on a small east-facing spur on the Heimbachtal in the district of Rottweil in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

The current rectory stands on the site of the castle (presumably a larger stone house), the foundation walls and the cellar of the rectory should still go back to this castle. The rectory and church are separated by a moat that is now accessible - a high curtain wall used to stretch around both of them . The former local nobility, the Lords of Fluorn, sat at the castle. These were mentioned as important witnesses as early as 1099 when the Alpirsbach monastery church was consecrated . Since the village of Fluorn formerly belonged to the Sulz lordship, the local nobility was presumably servants of the Counts of Sulz and later those of Geroldseck. Archaeological ceramic finds go back to the 11th century, and not far from the church, Merovingian graves were also found in the 1830s , these finds have been lost since the Second World War .
