Ittlingen Castle

The Castle Ittlingen is a baroque mansion in Ittlingen in Baden-Württemberg district Heilbronn .

In the 12th century there was a local nobility (Lords of Ucklingen), but almost nothing is known about them today. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Counts of Öttingen had rights in Ittlingen. In 1414 Dietrich von Gemmingen received half of Ittlingen as a fief, and he bought the other half. The lords of Gemmingen (lines to Gemmingen and to Michelfeld) owned Ittlingen half as an allod property, half as a fiefdom of the Counts of Öttingen. After the extinction of the Gemmingen-Michelfeld, the Grecken von Kochendorf appeared as co-local lords from 1616 , from 1649 together with the lords von Schmidberg , and after the Grecken died out in 1749, their share fell to the Gemmingen-Hornberg. Ittlingen came to Baden in 1806 .

The basement with barrel vaulted cellar and cellar portal is still from a previous building, the manor house of the building yard built in 1577 by the barons of Gemmingen . The year 1577 and the coats of arms of the von Gemmingen family, the Landschad von Steinach and the Lords of Mentzingen are carved above the cellar entrance . The castle is a simple, well-proportioned two-story building from the Baroque period. It has nine axles and a hipped roof above it . The large courtyard portal has a late Baroque framework architecture, and above it is the coat of arms of the Lords of Schmidberg .

The property has been in the family for over 120 years.
