Schrozburg

The Schrozburg even Schrotzberg called, is a Outbound Wasserburg in Upper Stettener road 52 on the northern outskirts of the city Schrozberg in Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

The tower hill castle (Motte) was built in the 12th century and was inhabited by the lords of Schrotzburg, who, as Hohenlohe ministerials, had previously sat at Leineck Castle near Gmünd or in Neuenstein as Hohenlohe feudal people . The castle fell into disrepair in the 14th century and was destroyed by the Rothenburgers in 1441 . As a result, a castle (moated castle) was built on the Vorbach near the abandoned town of Oberhausen , which developed into today 's Schrozberg Castle in Schrozberg. The square castle hill and a moat are still preserved from the former castle complex .
