The Castle Wartenberg , also Wartinberch , Prague Castle , Wartberg and Warpperg called, is an Outbound hilltop castle on the Wartberg about 3400 meters north of the Old Palace in Stuttgart-Nord in Baden-Württemberg , close to the Prague saddle .
The castle, probably called Wartiberch here , was founded in 1133 in a feud between Count Adelbert IV of Calw-Löwenstein and Duke Welf VI. destroyed by the Guelph . From 1466 the castle, of which no remains have survived , is only known as the Burgstall above the Störzenbach .
