Wilflingen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Staufenberg Castle, Wilflingen
Wilflingen Castle
Wilflingen Castle has been owned by the von Stauffenberg taverns since 1464 and is the oldest family seat of the former imperial knight family. Between 1710 and 1740, the Prince Bishop of Constance and Augsburg, Johann Franz Schenk von Stauffenberg, had the castle converted into a hunting lodge and the church, the Löwen inn and the Eisighof built. The rich furnishings of the rooms and the external appearance of the castle date from this period. The castle is inhabited by the family and has been open to the public to a limited extent since 1960.

Monastery Church of Bad Buchau

Josef Christian from Riedlingen created the sculptures in the church, and Andreas Brugger painted the ceiling paintings in the choir and central nave. The church patrons Cornelius and Cyprianus still refer to the Carolingian tradition today. Adelindis, revered as a Swabian folk saint, rests with her three sons in the crypt of the collegiate church.

Grüningen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Hornstein-Grüningen line has existed since 1311 and until today Schloss Grüningen is passed on from generation to generation, which makes it something very special.
The Grüninger Castle was built in substantial parts of its present appearance in the late Middle Ages.
In its place stood before a donjon from Hohenstaufen humpback crawls, which have preserved in the east of the present castle building on two floors and are still clearly recognizable today.
After partial destruction in the Thirty Years' War, the castle was restored in 1686, while the second floor in the half-timbered built and expanded structurally.
The entire castle complex, consisting of the castle, outbuildings, the former patronage church (Catholic parish church of St. Blaise), is now a listed building and is thus an important cultural monument of the local region.

Hanging Gardens of Neufra Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hanging garden of Neufra
The historic hanging garden of Neufra
The historic hanging garden is a Renaissance garden that was created between 1569 and 1573 by Count Georg von Helfenstein with 202 serfs in front of his castle as a "hanging garden" on a flat surface on a specially built extension of the natural castle hill.
The garden is supported by fourteen vaults up to nine meters high.
The historic garden was restored in 1988 on the private initiative of Waltraud Johannsen based on a drawing from the archives of the Princes of Fürstenberg with the help of the Monuments Office.

Schlössle Alberweiler

Highlight • Castle

The Schlössle Alberweiler is a castle in the district of the same name in the municipality of Schemmerhofen in Baden-Württemberg. It was first mentioned in 1488 when it was destroyed by Catholic troops during the Roggenburg feud. At that time it was owned by the gentlemen of Warthausen zu Alberweiler, who had converted to the Protestant faith.

In the 15th century a new castle was built under Bartholome von Warthausen zu Alberweiler at the current location. Back then, the ground floor and the first floor were probably bricked like today. The second floor and the gables are provided with a beautiful half-timbered construction.

In 1585 the castle became the property of the counts of Stadion. Even today there are old beamed ceilings and door frames from the time of construction. The early baroque portal with its blind pillars goes back to the counts of Stadion.

In 1885 the carpenter Andreas Mohr finally bought it and provided it with a baroque half-hipped roof. He made elaborate carvings on the outside of the castle. Not much has been invested since the time of the Weimar Republic, and the castle fell into disrepair.

Restorer Richard Roth, lord of the castle until his death in 1998, bought it in 1968 and brought the building back to its original shape. He inserted a fragment of the epitaph of the last Warthauser in Alberweiler, Felix Friderich, into the castle wall, which was found during the interior renovation of the parish church of St. Ulrich in Alberweiler.

St. Ulrich Castle Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The most striking building in Obersulmetingen, visible from afar, is the castle, which towers over the Riß valley. In this castle are next to the church, the town hall and the Bishop Ulrich School. The name of the school and the patronage of the church, St. Ulrich, indicate that Obersulmetingen is closely associated with St. Ulrich, Bishop Ulrich of Augsburg (890-973).
At the place where the present castle is located, there was already a castle belonging to the family of St. Ulrich, at least in the 10th century, which suggests that Ulrich himself was born here.
However, the old castle was struck by lightning in 1652 and consequently burned down together with the rectory and all stately buildings.
