Dautenstein Castle

Dautenstein Castle

The Dautenstein Castle , also Tutenstein , Duttenstein or Dutenstein called, is a former moated castle at Dautenstein in the area of today's community Seelbach in Ortenaukreis in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

history

The initially Hohenstaufen low castle followed the Hohenstaufen building scheme already known from the Tiefburg Lahr with a rectangular floor plan and four round corner towers and was probably built around 1235 by the Reich ministerial von Dautenstein. It formed a fortress line with the Schwanau and Lahr Tiefburgs. The Tiefburg Dautenstein was destroyed in the Peasants' War, bought by Jakob von Hohengeroldseck in 1584 and expanded into the residence of the Hohengeroldseck rule in the late Renaissance style until 1599 . Jakob died on Dautenstein in 1634 without male descendants, two years later the castle was burned down by Count von Gallas and remained in ruins for decades. In 1812, the privy councilor of Princely Leyche, Philipp Carl Schmidt, acquired the half-heartedly restored property and had it rebuilt.

Todays use

The current building complex, which is privately owned, goes back to the new building in the first half of the 19th century and only takes up part of the complex.

Dautenstein is included in the list of monuments of the state of Baden-Württemberg and in 2005 was raised to the status of “cultural heritage of the state” by the regional association Badische Heimat .
