The Castle Creglingen , including Water Castle Creglingen called, is a former moated castle in Creglingen in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

history

The original building was erected around 1100 for the Lords of Creglingen. Other parts were probably built in the 14th century.

Creglingen Castle was built in 1544. It is a late medieval solid building. The castle served as a camera office . Around 1600 extensions and renovations were carried out. The baptismal complex with residential tower served under the margraves as the seat of the upper office. In 1734 the building was heavily renovated.

In the 19th century, former properties of Creglingen Castle were probably sold. Archival materials from the Jewish community of Creglingen and a message from the castle administration at the time to the Jewish community of Creglingen, when they unsuccessfully asked the Creglingen community for "three chandeliers at a price of grace" for the renovation of the Creglingen synagogue , suggests that this is the case . On August 22nd, 1870, the palace administration replied that “such expendable or obsolete chandeliers have not been found for a long time”.

Today only the remains of the castle's residential tower are preserved.
