history

The Jura village of Tagmesheim seems to have been a noble residence from time immemorial, because a Menginher de Tagamareshemen was mentioned as a witness in a document from the St. Emmeram monastery as early as the end of the 11th century .

From around 1300 to 1578, the Knights of Otting , once ministerials of the Counts of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach , appeared as Lords of Tagmersheim . The Otting zu Tagmersheim family died with Moritz Heinrich in 1578 in the male line. Wolf Lorenz Wallrab von Hautzendorf came into the possession of the Tagmersheim rule . The origin of the castle goes back to the latter. He had the castle built in the Renaissance style as an administrator's apartment. Wallrab's daughters sold the property in 1622/23. In the course of time several lords of the castle followed (among others to the noble families of Pestalozza and von Wohnlich). From 1821 to 1842 the family of the Augsburg banker Daniel Freiherr von Wohnlich (1753–1839) owned Tagmersheim. In 1842, Count Alois Arco-Stepperg acquired the castle and estate.

In 1919 the estate passed to the counts of the Moy des Sons family . In 2007 the Moys sold the castle to the Ingo Beyer von Morgenstern family , who fundamentally restored the entire castle complex. Isabel von Morgenstern runs a polo business on the property today .

The three-storey building with a hipped roof is surrounded by a 3  hectare park. A sunken garden that is unique in Germany and the largest linden plateau in Bavaria with 120 linden trees are part of the magnificent park.

The castle is not open to the public.
