Catering
For celebrations, the castle works with three catering partners: Esskultur Catering, Freetime Events and Le Gourmet Partyservice. Coffee breaks are part of the seminar offer. The beer garden serves regional dishes in season; it is closed until November 26, 2026 and reopens for the Advent market.
History and setting
The castle was built in the 11th century, probably for the counts of Calw-Löwenstein. Anton Fugger acquired it in 1551, and Hans Fugger turned it into a Renaissance residence from 1576. Later owners included Walther Putsch, who remodeled it in 1901, and the shoe manufacturer Siegfried Levi, who was forced to sell in 1937 and recovered the castle by restitution in 1951. Since 1994 the architect Roland Weimar has restored it for its current uses. The view reaches over the Löwenstein hills.
Getting there
The address is Burg Stettenfels 4, 74199 Untergruppenbach. The castle is visible from the A81 motorway north of Stuttgart. Heilbronn is the nearest large city, and Stuttgart Airport is the closest airport.
