history

Already in the High Middle Ages , a seat of the local aristocracy can be proven in Winzingen. After their extinction in 1369, the castle passed to the lords of Neuhausen via the lords of Ahelfingen, lords of Degenfeld and the lords of Rechberg zu Staufeneck in 1599. In 1607, Philipp von und zu Neuhausen and Alfdorf sold the Winzingen manor to his brother-in-law Joachim Berchtold von Roth. He had the castle torn down around 1610 and a three-storey, massive rectangular building built in the Renaissance style. After the death of Joachim Berchtold von Roth in 1621, the manor fell back to his brother-in-law Philipp von Neuhausen, who sold it to Baron Benjamin von Bubenhofen in the same year . Under their rule, the castle was rebuilt in 1743 and 1744 by the Unterelching master builder David Madel, of whom the bubenhofen coat of arms over the garden portal, three stucco ceilings on the first floor, as well as the staircase and the roof truss have been preserved. In 1824 the castle was acquired by the Counts von Rechberg and Rothenlöwen, who still own it today. Today the castle is used as a private residence.
