Le château en bref
Lying north-east of Epfendorf, near Harthausen, the ruin of the Schenkenberg, also recorded under the name Schenkenburg, occupies a wooded summit at 588 m. This small 13th-century castle was probably built by the Schenken von Schenkenberg, mentioned in the Zimmern Chronicle in 1312; the castle is cited from 1331 to 1420. Pawned and then sold in 1421 to Konrad von Stein, it passed in 1527 to the free imperial city of Rottweil along with Epfendorf, and appears as a ruin on the 1564 map of Rottweil. Only sections of wall remain, overgrown with vegetation. The ruin, not to be confused with the Schenkenburg at Schenkenzell, some twenty kilometres away, can be visited freely, a quarter of an hour's walk from the Mützental.
