The Engelberg hunting lodge

The Engelberg hunting lodge is a castle in Engelberg , a district of Winterbach in the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg .

history

In the Middle Ages, the hunting lodge was replaced by a monastery of the Augustinian hermits founded in 1466 by Count Ulrich V von Württemberg . The dormitory was destroyed in 1525 as a result of the German Peasants' War. In 1538 the monastery church was demolished for the stone quarrying of the Schorndorf Castle. In 1602, a Württemberg hunting lodge was built on the site of the monastery. From 1623 the castle was the seat of the chief forester von Schorndorf. The castle was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War and only rebuilt in 1649. In 1818 the castle was sold to private owners for 14,300 guilders and changed hands several times in the following years. The palace has been used by the Waldorf School since the 1960s, which is why the interior was renovated from 1962 to 1965.
