Sindlingen Castle is a castle complex in Sindlingen, a suburb of the Jettingen community in the Böblingen district .

history

The castle was built in the 15th or 16th century as a moated castle with a moat, presumably under the lords of Validlingen , who at that time were the bearers of the Württemberg fief. The castle was originally a four-wing complex with an enclosed courtyard, the plastered main building of which was oriented to the northwest. The castle also had a park, remains of which are still there today. In the late 17th century, several farm buildings were built on the road leading to the castle, such as: B. a fruit box, a bakery and the massive, plastered office building. In 1640 the castle was sold to Messrs Bernerdin von Kärnten, who owned the complex for a long time. From 1782 the castle belonged to Franziska von Hohenheim , born von Bernerdin and later wife of Duke Karl Eugen von Württemberg . This made structural changes to the building and after the death of Karl Eugen spent the summer months in the castle. In 1812 the site was sold to the Princess von Colloredo , and in 1740 the castle went to the Royal Court Domain Chamber. In 1748 the transverse building, which ran parallel to the main building, and the west wing were demolished. The west wing was replaced by an economic building.
Today there is a hotel, a restaurant and a riding facility in the castle.
