[3] In 1714 Franz Otto von und zu Weichs instructed the architect Justus Wehmer to construct a replacement château in the fashionable Baroque style, and the new building was completed in 1746.

[2] Between 1999 and 2004 the château underwent an extensive restoration under the direction of the then owner, Baron Dietger von Fürstenberg, whose work earned him a prize for Historic preservation.

[4][5] In order to finance the work the baron sold a twelfth century German manuscript document, known as the Stammheim Missal, and which had been in his family for generations, to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

The coat of arms of the Baron von Weichs who had the château built is prominently displayed along with those of each of his three successive wives.

The ceiling is decorated with a geometrical stucco design incorporating the image of Mary Magdalene, to whom the chapel is dedicated.

The raised box (literally "patronal loggia"), constructed to be occupied by the lord of the manor and his family during services, is particularly eye-catching.
