Schloss Jettingen

Schloss Jettingen is a castle in Jettingen-Scheppach featuring four massive round corner towers topped by a high pitched roof, with structures arranged around an inner courtyard. The property includes an extensive English-style garden that spreads across the grounds.

The castle was built in 1480 by Hans von Stain on the site of an earlier water fortress and underwent substantial transformation under Franz Schenk von Stauffenberg. This renovation in 1841 significantly changed its appearance.

The birthplace of renowned children's author Isabella Braun in 1815 and resistance fighter Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg in 1907.

Visitors can walk through the grounds and its English garden to explore the natural landscape surrounding the castle. The park offers different paths and areas for strolling and lingering.

A long corridor holds life-size portraits of Roman emperors, accessible from a staircase landing. This collection reveals an unusual decoration from another era.
