Water buffalo in the Bottwartal

Highlight • Natural

In May 2019, the water buffalo were resettled in the Bottwar meadows as part of the project for home, people, and nature. Their stable and pasture are located on the road between Großbottwar and Kleinbottwar.

View of Beilstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Little is known about the origins of Beilstein, but it is assumed that it was a castle settlement that developed at the foot of the castle hill in the High Middle Ages. Around 1150 a Dietrich von Beilstein is mentioned, in 1231 a Count Berthold von Beilstein appears. Excavation finds suggest that the first Romanesque fortifications were built around 1070–1080.
Beilstein was already mentioned as a town in 1304.
The city suffered heavily during the 30 Years' War, in which it was looted and burned down several times.

View of Hohenbeilstein Castle and Unteres Schloss

Highlight • Castle

The Lower Castle is located in Beilstein in the Heilbronn district of Baden-Württemberg. It is located halfway between the town and Hohenbeilstein Castle. The Lower Castle goes back to an administrative courtyard built in the 16th century, on whose site a villa was built for the manufacturer Robert Vollmöller between 1906 and 1908 according to plans by Albert Benz. Since 1957, the Lower Castle has been the home of the children's church and the conference center of the Evangelical Regional Church in Württemberg, which has owned the building since 1959.

Hohenbeilstein is a hilltop castle on a hill above the town of Beilstein on the southern edge of the Heilbronn district in Baden-Württemberg. Its origins date back to the 11th century; the oldest parts still visible today date from the 13th century. The castle today consists of the so-called “Langhans”, a 28 meter high, pentagonal keep that can be climbed as a lookout tower, a 2.5 meter thick shield wall and several outbuildings in the outer bailey area, which is now used as a falconry and restaurant. The original palace has not been preserved; today's restaurant building is a building by Albert Benz.
