history

In the 16th and 17th centuries there were two stately houses in Gärtringen: one in today's lower palace garden and one in the place of today's palace. Nothing is known about their appearance. However, after several changes of ownership, the place came to Johann Heinrich Hiller von Gärtringen, who had a new building built by Georg Friedrich Majer in 1728 . The portal with the coat of arms of the noble families Hiller and Preysing was created by the Herrenberg stonemason Marx Hepp . In 1893 a winter garden was added to the side.
Today the castle is privately owned.
