Very beautiful castle 🏰, unfortunately privately owned, once there was a wine and spirits shop here, that is no longer the case.

The Renaissance Lehrensteinsfeld Castle was built by the then local lord, Philipp von Gemmingen, in 1540. On the same site, there was probably previously a castle ruin, mentioned in 1378 and 1535, i.e., the remains of a castle. The main façade was rebuilt in the Neoclassical style under Baron Johann Friedrich Karl von Schmidberg. One of his ancestors, Field Marshal Ludwig von Schmidberg, bought the castle and the village in 1649. Since 1865, the property has belonged to the Dietzsch family, who run a winery here. Unfortunately, the castle is not accessible and is well surrounded by walls and high hedges, making it difficult to see.
