Liebenzell Castle is a castle situated on a declining hill spur on the slopes of the Schlossberg overlooking the town of Bad Liebenzell in the Calw district of the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg. The stronghold used to be the most significant castle in the Württemberg region of the Black Forest. The counts of Calw constructed the castle in the 12th century. In 1196, the counts of Eberstein were noted as the proprietors of the castle. The castle was enlarged from 1220 to 1230. It was ruined in the 16th century, again in 1692, and reconstructed in 1954. Currently, the International Forum of Liebenzell Castle owns the castle. It serves as a training centre for youth associated with the Bad Liebenzell International Youth Forum and includes a restaurant. The castle consists of an uneven, five-sided structure featuring a strong shield wall, which incorporates a square bergfried equipped with a garderobe. The grand chamber or Palas is adorned with decorative ogival openings. The six-level bergfried stands at 32 metres tall, features a six-metre high entrance, possesses a wall thickness of two metres, and covers an area of approximately 9 by 9 metres. #Castles #History #Architecture
