Teck Castle (German: Burg Teck) was a ducal castle in the kingdom of Württemberg, immediately to the north of the Swabian Jura and south of the town of Kirchheim unter Teck (now in the district of Esslingen). The castle took its name from the Teckberg ridge, 2,544 feet (775 m) high, which it crowned. It was destroyed in the German Peasants' War (1525).[1] The site's current buildings were constructed during the 19th and 20th centuries on the ruins of the original castle.
