Mauerreste auf einer Bergkuppe im Wald

Support group for the preservation and research of the Turmhoelzle ruins

The aim of the support group "Förderkreis Ruine Turmhölzle e.V." is to research and conserve the Turmhoelzle ruins near Schopfheim-Raitbach and other castle ruins in the upper Wiesental valley,

  • to document them,
  • to conserve existing wall remains,
  • to provide information for visitors and
  • organise lectures and excursions.

Through private initiative we want to stop the decay of the Turmhölzle ruins. We would also like to research the Turmhölzle ruins as a remarkable example of a ministerial castle and make it better known and more accessible to the public.

At a later date, we would also like to work on the other castles in the upper Wiesental, which are also described on this homepage.

We need more collaborators and supporters for our preservation and research. Every contribution, every support, every co-operation is welcome.
