Brenz Castle

Within the castle is a small Community Heritage Museum that is open on Sundays, Holidays or by appointment and hosts several concerts throughout the year.

After 1250 a side line of the noble family von Güssenberg (known as Güssen) occupied Schloss Brenz.

[2] To pay debts, the family quickly fell into highway robbery and the castle was destroyed under orders of Louis IV in 1340.

Schloss Brenz remained generally empty afterward, though a branch of the family von Racknitz lived in the castle for a short while.

[1] The community heritage section contains earthenware and stoneware, pewter tableware and cast iron stove tops, costumes from the lower Brenztal (Brenz River Valley) as well as rural tools.
