history

In the town of Tullau, mentioned in 1090 , a rectangular residential tower complex with a circular wall was built in the second quarter of the 13th century - probably under Schenk Walther von Limpurg . On the ground floor there is a chapel in the Romanesque style with a cross-vaulted choir and a barrel-vaulted single-bay nave. A second phase of construction was probably carried out under the Limpurgian fiefdom Heinrich von Tullau, mentioned in 1290. At that time the north side of the old curtain wall was torn down and a large courtyard was built with wing walls. Another two-story tower was built in the north. Another renovation took place in 1581, with the ring wall of the southern residential tower being built over. Two residential towers became a Renaissance building .

In 1642 the sculptor Leonhard Kern (1588–1662) acquired the Tullauer Schloss, where he lived from 1651 to 1661. At that time, the city no longer regarded it as a castle, but as a civil good. At that time, parts of the property were the so-called old and new houses, farm buildings, a fenced-in garden, a field and 11 days' work of meadows. The so-called Tullauer Narr , a clay figure that probably once belonged to a fountain, also dates from this time . It is now in the Hällisch-Franconian Museum , but was still on view in the 19th century in the garden of the castle.

From 1768 to 1770 another renovation took place under Maria Sibylla Schaffnerin. The half-timbered upper storey of the north building was replaced and the two houses were connected by a wooden gallery on the east side of the inner courtyard. In 1858 a "Hofgut" in Tullau was offered for sale in the Swabian Merkur , which was also referred to as "Schloßhof" and "Schloß" in the description. At that time the property belonged to the heirs of the Haller Stadtschultheißen Wibel.

In 1851 the farmer Michael Huber bought the castle. It is still owned by his family.

The castle is sometimes referred to as a former moated castle; in the description of the Oberamt Hall von Rud. Moser, however, is differentiated between the little castle and the earlier castle. Moser also provides further information about the owners of the castle: In 1615 the castle belonged to Countess Gertraud von Löwenstein and Stauffeneck, who then sold it to the city of Hall. They sold it to the hospital three years later. From 1780 it belonged to the Feyerabend family and then finally came into the possession of the Stadtschultheißen Wibel, who married a Feyerabend.

Reik shows the castle in his painting from the south-east. The northern house with the half-timbered tower can be seen. In the southern view, the loggia between the two corner towers is shown, which was later walled up.
