Buildings

Laudenbach Castle

The imperial barons of Fechenbach were local and later castle lords for over 600 years. The widow of Field Marshal Lieutenant Reichart von Fechenbach, Josepha b. von Eyb , had today's baroque palace built between 1717 and 1747. The main building consists of two two-storey wings that meet at right angles. The castle chapel was built in 1755 by the later titular bishop of Taenarum, Johann Philipp Karl von Fechenbach . The palace complex is located in a picturesque park with rare trees. From 1923 to 2001 the castle was inherited by the Barons von und zu Aufseß . In 2002, Prince Aloys-Konstantin zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg from Kleinheubach bought the castle as a residence for his son, Hereditary Prince Carl Friedrich (1966-2010), whose family still lives there today.
