Facts and practical information

Langensteinbach Castle, also called the Roman Tower, is the ruined remains of a hilltop castle on a hill south of the village of Langensteinbach, a district of Karlsbad in the district of Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg. In the immediate vicinity is the ruin of the later St. Barbara's Chapel.

The castle was built around 1100 as a tower castle. The tower had 3.5 meter thick foundation walls at the base and was probably once 35 meters high. After the partial destruction of the tower by fire, a moat was dug directly adjacent to the foundations during its reconstruction to protect it from siege engines. Already in the 13th century the castle was abandoned again. The dating resulted from ceramic remains found during an excavation in the 1970s.

Of the former castle complex, only the stump of the residential tower, restored during the excavation, and a surrounding ditch-wall construction remain.
