Ellwangen sits on the Jagst River in eastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where the town meets the wooded hills of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park. Its history was shaped by a Benedictine abbey founded in 764, and the Basilica of St Vitus still recalls that early religious centre. Above the old town stands Schloss ob Ellwangen, the former residence of the prince-provosts of Ellwangen. The compact historic core connects this ecclesiastical heritage with the gently winding Jagst valley, part of the wider Ostalb district.
