Tettnang Castle

Tettnang Castle is owned by Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten Baden-Württemberg.

His aim was to tear down the remains of the mediaeval fort to make way for a completely new palace.

A major section of the façade, along with parts of the interior decoration, were damaged by fire in 1753.

The fine sculptures and paintwork inside the castle were carried out by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer, Käte Schaller-Härlin and Andreas Brugger.

When Tettnang was handed over to Bavaria as part of the Peace of Pressburg, the castle returned to German ownership.
