We have used the parking lot often in the past. Today we found out that it has become a parking lot for motorhomes, from which cars would be towed. (current photo uploaded) Shame 🫤

Until 1789, Ellingen was the residence of the Land Commander of the Franconian Bailiwick of the Teutonic Order. The present palace complex, built from 1708 to around 1760, was preceded by several medieval buildings and a Renaissance structure. The current main building was constructed between 1717 and 1721 by the architect Franz Keller, based on plans by Wilhelm Heinrich Behringer under the direction of Karl Heinrich von Hornstein.

The tourist information office is located directly next to the town hall, towards the castle. There you can find, among other things, a map for the Ellingen Baroque Trail.

There are still many beautiful views to be had; the entire Altmühl Valley Cycle Path is worth a bike ride. Ideally, a multi-day tour.
