Sulzheim Castle
Sulzheim Castle originated from a castle-like courtyard owned by the Würzburg court chapter. In 1134 Sulzheim was donated to the newly founded Ebrach Abbey along with eleven other locations .
Under the abbot Wilhelm Sölner it was decided to demolish the now dilapidated courtyard . The first master builder, Johann Dientzenhofer, built the tithe storeroom around 1700 . In 1728 Sulzheim Castle was completed as a three-wing complex with a central pavilion . The very important master builders Balthasar Neumann and Joseph Greising were most likely involved in the twelve-year construction period .
In 1802, with the secularization , the castle became the property of the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1815 it came to the ducal house of Thurn und Taxis with the office of Sulzheim and 21 surrounding villages as compensation for the post in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and in the Principality of Aschaffenburg . It remained there for about 160 years and during this time it had a very eventful history and use, including as a forestry office. In the 1970s, the Princely House sold the castle. It has been privately owned since then and is available for events.
