Gaildorf

Gaildorf is a small town on the Kocher river in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. From the late Middle Ages it was a residence of the Schenks of Limpurg, whose castle still stands in the town, and the seat of one of their branches after the family divided. With the rest of the Limpurg lands it passed to Württemberg in 1806.
