Gochsheim Castle

It currently houses a museum and holds around 100 works of local artist Karl Hubbuch who died in 1979.

The castle fell into the ownership of Frederick August of Württemberg-Neuenstadt after his marriage on 9 February 1679 to Countess Albertine Sophie Esther, the last remaining member of the family of the Counts of Eberstein (now known as Alt-Eberstein).

The castle was reconstructed after the war ended in 1700, after which Gochsheim once again became a ducal residence.

On the death of his wife in 1728, Gochsheim returned to the main ducal line.

The upper floor now houses the world's largest collection of irons, around 1,300 examples collected by Heinrich Sommer, as well as works by theologian, local historian and artist Dr. Carl Krieger and Margarethe Krieger.
