Ramsbach moated castle

The moated castle Ramsbach is a lost moated castle and tower hill castle (Motte) on the upper Rotbach on the southeastern edge of the district Ramsbach of the city of Schwäbisch Hall in the Baden-Württemberg district of Schwäbisch Hall .

history

The moated castle was probably built around 1085 by the lords of Bielriet, in that year the brothers Diemo and Burchard von Ramsbach were mentioned as the low-nobility ministerials of the noble von Bielriet. The castle itself was first mentioned in a document in 1375 as “hofstat und burgstale zu Ramsbach”, but at that time the name Burgstall was destroyed. Another, presumably final, destruction of the "water house" probably took place in 1450 during the city ​​war , when it was burned down by a margravial-Ansbach warband. The Burgstall was also mentioned several times later.

Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex, which belongs to the group of hill towers .
