history

Lautereck Castle was first mentioned in 1559 as the property of the Counts of Löwenstein . At that time, the complex consisted of the rectangular building that is still preserved today, which was "surrounded by a very wide, walled moat in a square". In addition, the site was surrounded by a circular wall, which is no longer preserved . In 1665 and 1713 the gables of the castle were renewed. In 1728 a new official and sheep barn was built. In 1867 the castle was probably sold by Wilhelm zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg to the tanner Lutz from Sulzbach, who left it to the farmer Welz a year later. At the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century, the moat must have been filled in and the bridge over it and the curtain wall that had been preserved in 1871 must have been demolished. However, the course of the rift can still be seen today. In 2008 and 2009 the castle was completely renovated and modernized, e.g. B. with an elevator and a new wedding room for Sulzbach. Two citizens' halls and a kitchen have also been installed.
