history

The Niederungsburg ( Uferburg ) was probably built around 1200 by the Lords of Hohenklingen ; to 1230 to 1250 probably was Palas built. The castle was owned by Albrecht von Klingenberg until 1446. During the Swiss War in March 1499 the castle burned down and was rebuilt after 1499. In 1501 Konrad Egli zu Herdern acquired Oberstaad Castle from the previous owner Peter Maßlin von Granegg , a citizen of Constance, who had acquired it with a letter of sale dated December 21, 1491. After ten years, the Öhningen Monastery acquired the facility, which it wanted to sell to Bilgeri von Landenberg zu Hohenlandenberg, but did not receive the purchase price from him, so that Oberstaad Castle was sold to Junker Sebastian von Mandach for a small surcharge in 1516 . The castle remained in Mandacher's possession until 1608, when the widow Anna Benigna Reichlin von Meldegg , b. von Mandach, who left the castle to the Einsiedeln monastery . After another 15 years, Johann Heinrich Ruch von Wynida , the Obervogt of the Teutonic Order of Alsace-Burgundy , acquired the estate from Abbot Augustin .

Between 1608 and 1609 the living quarters were renewed. The castle came into the possession of the Muri Monastery in 1711 for 7,000 guilders from the Obervogt of the Teutonic Order, Herr zu Worblingen and Salenstein, Johann Franz von Liebenfels, but was then sold to Joseph Anton Rüpplin zu Kefikon because of the low income . From his son Nicolaus Maxim Joseph, the castle came into the possession of Joseph Rudolf Valentin Meyer in early 1773 . In 1793, Baron Karl Alexander Ifflinger von Granegg (* 1735 in Friedingen) acquired Oberstaad Castle. The Ifflinger family already owned several residences on the Untersee, such as Glarisegg Castle , which he therefore sold, and Gottlieben Castle near Konstanz. His mother, a Baroness Beck von und zu Willmendingen , probably also lived here. Baron Felix Karl von Lenz acquired the castle from the Ifflingers in 1821. During this time (1827) there was a double murder. After that (1830) the castle was owned by the Wehrle family. In 1863 the residential tower burned down . The tower should be demolished. From 1886 to 1969 the castle was owned by the Sallmann family, from 1969 owned by the Schiesser company and expanded from 1972 to 1973.

The castle complex shows a rectangular residential tower with a gable roof and derives its name from "Ober Staad", which means above the Gestades, the shore. Today there are holiday apartments in the castle.
