Teck was a ucal 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), taking its name from the ridge, 2544 feet high, which it crowned. It was destroyed in the Peasants' War (1525). The castle was reconstructed during the 19th and 20th centuries.
