Nippenburg is a ruined castle lying on a mountain spur (making it a spur castle) located near the town of Schwieberdingen, Germany and Schloss Nippenburg.

History

The oldest record of Nippenburg's existence date to 1160, making it one of the oldest castles in the Stuttgart region. In the 17th Century, the castle was positioned favorably: lying on a mountain spur over-half the Glemstals and built in direct proximity to the manor-house lock Nippenburg. In following centuries the castle was heavily quarried and abandoned. The ruins are with high walls and fortifications as well as a substantial scrub. In the 1980s the building was partially restored to its 1483 condition.
