history
The castle was built by Johann Friedrich von Kageneck (1633–1705) in 1672. His successor, Imperial Count Johann Friedrich Fridolin von Kageneck , had some parts rebuilt in the baroque style in the 18th century , probably based on plans by Johann Jakob Fechter. The church painter Simon Göser painted the ceiling in the dining room with an ancient heaven of gods.
During the Austrian Wars of Succession , the French King Louis XV. 1744 the castle after the Kagenecks in Switzerland had fled. The Napoleonic troops destroyed the buildings. During the Second World War , the Volkssturm occupied the property, then the French troops.
The Kageneck family has repeatedly restored the listed buildings and still uses them today. Funding from the Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation was available for the restoration of the cultural monument ; most recently for the hipped roof, which is valuable in terms of monument preservation .
The Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation named the castle Monument of the Month for August 2017 .
architecture
The castle is built on three floors in the Renaissance style and has a two-story roof. The facades were later lavishly decorated in the Rococo style. The entrance hall is a pillar-supported cross vault and also provides access to the house chapel. The associated courtyard is enclosed by one-story buildings that were originally used as stables, stores and workshops. The palace complex includes a park with a lime tree avenue and an old, high-quality tree population.
