Riet Castle is a castle in the Riet district of the city of Vaihingen an der Enz in the Ludwigsburg district in Baden-Württemberg .

history

As early as the 12th century, a moated castle of the Hohenstaufen in Riet was handed down. In the 15th century, the massive basement floors were probably built on the remains of this castle, which were supplemented by four corner towers and two half-timbered floors in the 16th century . During this time, the Lords of Reischach-Riet came into possession of the castle for the first time through Hans von Reischach. After the castle was lost in 1593, the castle came into the possession of Württemberg after several changes of ownership in 1620. In 1709 the castle became the property of the Lords of Reischach again, but this time as a Württemberg fief . After the dissolution of the fief in 1835, the castle remained in the possession of the Reischachs, who still own it today.
