The Ketter Castle is an Outbound hilltop castle on the Ketterberg in Bad Mergentheim in Main-Tauber-Kreis in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

history

The Ketterburg was built by the Teutonic Order around the middle of the 13th century and probably destroyed again during the 15th century. The castle was demolished from 1730. The "walls at the old castle in the Köterwald" were used for the new construction of the castle church and later also after two major fires in 1787 and 1791 for the reconstruction of spoon stilts .
