Leinstetten Castle

The castle Leinstetten is an Outbound Wasserburg am Heimbach in the district Leinstetten the city Dornhan in the district of Rottweil in Baden-Wuerttemberg . The aristocratic Gut Leinstetten was a Hohenberg and Austrian fiefdom of the local nobility, which died out in 1525.

Building history

The original castle complex was probably built in 1230/50. In 1474 the lords of Bubenhofen were enfeoffed with the castle including meadows, fields and two thirds of the village. In 1783 the Strasbourg patrician Philipp Jakob von Frank bought the facility. Until then, the castle was surrounded by a high wall and a moat with a drawbridge. Philipp Jakob von Frank had the wall torn down and the trench filled. The old castle building itself - with the exception of the old cellars - was probably demolished by the Colonel Baron von Batz after 1838. The grave of Philipp Jakob von Frank is located in the forest southwest of Leinstetten Castle . In 1847, the Barons of Podewils from the Pomerania region bought the castle and the associated tower .

Scheibler's Wappenbuch , coat of arms of the von Leinstetten (around 1450)

The old castle was a stone house, adorned with stepped gables and located a little higher on the small hill behind the walled castle garden. According to the description from 1824, it had four heatable and nine non-heatable rooms as well as two "excellent" cellars.

Friedrich August Köhler reports about these cellars :

There used to be a lot of otters in the basement of the castle, drinking unabashedly from the milk and the like. had nests in horse manure in the courtyard. They are also not uncommon in the meadows of the valley. often one is carried home with the grass without being noticed.
