The castle Nehren is an Outbound Wasserburg on a flat promontory on the eastern edge of the upper part of the community Nehren in the district of Tübingen in Baden-Wuerttemberg .
history
The moated castle was probably built in the 13th century by the Lords of Nehren as an ancestral seat and was mentioned during an expansion at the end of the 13th century.
During an excavation in 1951, the foundations of a rectangular building, perhaps a stone house or a residential tower , were uncovered from the former castle complex. They reach more than a meter thick on the slate. The foundation walls are in the middle of the surface of the almost square castle hill with a diameter of 28 meters in the "Weihergarten" corridor. The moat was 11 meters wide.
