history

The castle was probably built in the 12th or 13th century and was originally a moated castle . Today the building borders a small pond to the south .

The former moated castle of Count Ulrich von Montfort was first mentioned in 1344 when Count Ulrich von Feldkirch (Ulrich II. Von Montfort, 1263? –1350) gave Senftenau Castle to the Emperor as a fief. The complex consisted of the castle and a mill; after 1356 it came into the possession of changing patrician families and was used as a summer residence.

Sebastian Kurz (* 1551; † 1569 in Lindau in Lake Constance) married Magdalena Gründlin , the owner of the imperial fiefdom of the “Senftenau” castle , and they had four sons. In 1533 he had the castle chapel built and in 1536 he and his children were given the status of baron and his grandchildren a hundred years later in 1636 the status of count .

Her first son Jacob Kurz von Senftenau (1553–1594) was Vice Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire. Her son Philipp Kurtz von Thurn und Toblach, Freiherr von Senftenau (also: Philipp Kurtz von Senftenau) was also the father of Ferdinand Sigismund Kurtz von Senftenau .

Between 1540 and 1830, the "Kurtz von Senftenau" were also members of the Lindau patrician society Zum Sünzen .

In 1525, Senftenau Castle went to the Humpis family in the course of the Peasants' War . In 1551, the Fugger Sebastian Kurtz from Friedrich Hundtpiss (Humpis line from Siggen-Brochenzell) bought Senftenau Castle, which was a fiefdom of the women's monastery in Lindau and was now called "Kurtz von Senftenau". In 1605 the foundation fief came back into Lindau's possession.

The building was redesigned in the 16th and 18th centuries. The building complex today consists of the main building, which was renovated between 1551 and 1569, with baroque outbuildings.

In 1918 the writer Bruno Wille (1860–1928) settled in the castle. The castle has been owned by the Jobst family since the mid-1980s and is not open to the public.

The small pond at Senftenau Castle is fed by a piped supply line and by groundwater. There is no drain.
