Fugger Castle Market Forest

Castle Markt Wald is a Fugger - Castle in Markt Wald in Swabian Unterallgäu .

history

Since 1660, Markt Wald has belonged to the Fugger-Babenhausen princes. Today's castle, which goes back to a previous building from 1525, was built by Michael Stiller in 1747/48. With the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806, the place came to the Kingdom of Bavaria , but the Fugger princes had important reservation rights until 1848. The former castle later became the Fürstlich Fuggersche Oberförsterei. Leopold Graf Fugger-Babenhausen has lived in it since 2011 and has been extensively restored.

Building description

The castle is a three-storey hipped roof building with two corner towers and a stair tower . There are cast iron antlers on the conical roofs of the towers. The core of the building was built after 1525. Michael Stiller redesigned it in 1747/48. The property has a garden wall with gate pillars and a garden house in a tent roof ; both from the 18th century.
