Location and description

Horn Castle is located high on a mountain ledge in the angle between Lein and Federbach in the middle of the Horn district of the Göggingen community. In place of the remains of a medieval castle, a new castle building was built in 1760 by the brothers Rupert Franz Xaver and Franz Christoph Benedict von Schwarzach, stylistically influenced by Balthasar Neumann . A two-storey rectangular building with 9 to 5 window axes and a mansard hipped roof , above the entrance a balcony and gable with the alliance coat of arms of Schwarzach / von Hohenfeld . It shows a very clear structure inside with an impressive enfilade over the entire length of the building on the first floor .

Only parts of the gatehouse with the round tower on the left in the outer bailey and some castle walls go back to the Middle Ages. To the right of the gate is the Catholic palace chapel of the Sacrifice of the Virgin Mary with Rococo furnishings . Horn Castle is protected as a cultural monument .

history

Horn Castle belonged to the Lords of Ahelfingen around 1350 , who may have taken it over from the Rechberg - Rechberghausen family . It was owned by the von Ahelfingen family for several generations. From 1464 Melchior von Horckheim is registered as the owner. A few generations later, Horn came through marriage to Hans Burkhard Faber von Randegg and, after further marriages, came to Franz Wolf Reichlin von Meldegg around 1668 .

After further inheritance, the heirs sold the Horn manor in 1746 to Rupert Franz Xaver von Schwarzach, who, as Franz Georg von Schönborn's chamber president , was responsible for the building project in the prince-provost of Ellwangen and who worked with its chief builder Balthasar Neumann.

On July 31, 1747 the fiefdom reverse for the application of the Horn manor was drawn as a man fief opposite the Ellwangen monastery by Rupert Franz Xaver Friedrich von Schwarzach, capitular in Ellwangen, and his brother Franz Christoph at the Trier electoral palace in Kärlich .

Rupert von Schwarzach put the agriculture and the buildings in the outer courtyard in order and laid out a garden ground floor before handing the estate over to his brother Franz Christoph Benedict in 1755. Five years later the new construction of the castle building was carried out together. After the death of Franz Christoph Benedict in 1771, the prince provosty of Ellwangen took over the estate for seven years until it passed to Franz Christoph Benedict's daughter Maria Josepha, who married Paul von Beroldingen , through a lengthy process . From 1789 the estate was owned by the Counts of Beroldingen, who sold it in 1954. It is still privately owned to this day.
