The Wasserburg Berg is a moated castle in the valley floor of the Nesenbach on the site of today's Berg mineral bath in the Berg district of the state capital Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg . In addition to this castle complex, Berg Castle also existed in the village.
The moated castle was built by the lords of Berg in the 12th century and destroyed in 1287. Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex at a height of about 210 meters above sea level .
