St. Andrésches Schlösschen

St. Andrésches Schlösschen is a castle building in Kochendorf constructed between 1708 and 1710 with classical architectural features. A coat of arms stone above the portal displays the initials of its builder Friedrich Magnus and his wife Charlotte Louise von Weiler.

Friedrich Magnus von Saint-André built this castle between 1708 and 1710 on the site of an older building previously owned by the Walther Greck family. The new construction marked the transition to a grand residence for the Saint-André family.

The building bears the name of its builder Friedrich Magnus von Saint-André and was constructed as a grand residence for a prominent family. Today it serves the city as an administrative facility and shapes the character of the main street with its classical design.

The building is located on the main street in central Kochendorf and is easily accessible on foot. Information about visits and events can be requested from the city of Bad Friedrichshall.

The building was home to a bell foundry for many years before being purchased by the city in 1983. Subsequent renovations transformed it into a modern administrative building and civil registry office while preserving historical elements like the original staircase.
