In the tranquil district of Nierstein-Schwabsburg, the castle tower, an imposing building from the Staufer period, has been preserved. The tower offers a magnificent view of the Rhenish-Hessian hill country and is open daily.

The door is usually always open, only possibly closed in winter. Very nice view of Schwabsburg, Nierstein, Roter Hang and Rhine plain.

The Schwabsburg castle tower is the only part of the former Schwabsburg, which was probably founded around 1210 as a base for the Hohenstaufen dynasty. In the 14th century, the castle first belonged to the Archbishop of Mainz and later to the Electors of the Palatinate.
The Schwabsburg was then destroyed by the Spanish in 1621 during the Thirty Years' War. The castle was demolished in 1799, so that today only the castle tower and parts of the ring wall remain.
