history

In 1861 the Mennonite Otto Petsch from Frankfurt acquired all four properties in the hamlet of Hemerten, namely “Wastlbauer”, “Heinrichbauer”, “Schäfer” and the mill; in the conscription of goods from 1752, the “shepherd” was named as the fifth property. There he founded a model farm together with other fellow believers. In 1893, Markus Paul Maximilian von Schnurbein acquired the estate, which is still owned by the family to this day.

Old castle

The so-called Old Castle, which arose from the conversion of the former two-storey mansion of Otto Petsch, consists of two gables and a neo-baroque gable . The southern part of the castle was built in 1856, the northern part in 1886 on the foundation walls of a single-storey stable. Scherneck Castle is said to have served as a model for the renovation .

New lock

The so-called New Palace, a three-storey building with three corner towers , was built in 1908/09 by Ernst Robert Fiechter . It is surrounded by a walled park with a corner pavilion:

“The curved, gravel driveway through the walled park with old tree solitaires leads the visitor to the two- to three-storey building group with transverse structure and corner towers. When you arrive here, a pillar portico invites you to enter the two-story, wood-paneled hall. From there he can access the living rooms on the ground floor or the large staircase to the hall on the upper floor. While traditional design elements and details prevail in the exterior, the interior is surprisingly elegant in the early Art Deco ... Details such as the polygonal corner bay windows, the strict plaster structure and the dovetail crenellations on the roof ridges have their role models in the repertoire of forms of the German Renaissance. "

Originally the New Palace was intended as a summer residence. When the Schnurbeins' city palace in Augsburg was destroyed by bombs in February 1944, the family lived in the New Palace permanently.

The two castles, which were extensively restored in the 1980s and are owned by the baronial Schnurbein family , are not open to the public.

The estate manager's house has a gable roof and a simple gable structure.
