A moated castle on dry land? Until the 16th century, the Kammel River flowed directly past this spot. Surrounded by a pond and marshy terrain, Hürben Castle once stood like an island. To prevent the building from sinking into the soft ground, it was built on massive wooden piles in the 15th century. The walls, which widen towards the bottom, also stabilize the structure. That the construction has stood since 1474 is truly remarkable. Today, the castle houses the Swabia District's advisory center for folk music.

Today, the Hürben Water Castle houses the Swabia District Folk Music Advisory Center. It also houses a gallery, open since 2018, showcasing artwork and exhibitions. The newly designed grounds at Hürben Water Castle were officially opened in 2019, with water from the new fountain system playing a key role.

Not far from the Hürben moated castle is the Hürben Synagogue Square. The memorial commemorates the deportation and murder of 14 Krumbach Jews in 1942.

Is nice to look at and very well maintained. But also not worth traveling extra for. It was rather disappointing.
