Schloss Löwenstein, Baroque château in Kleinheubach, Germany
Schloss Löwenstein is a baroque castle in Kleinheubach featuring three stories with large rectangular windows arranged symmetrically around a central main building. A mansard roof crowns the structure, and the composition reflects the orderly style typical of baroque palace design.
Construction began in 1721 when Prince Dominic Marquard acquired the lordship of Kleinheubach and commissioned the castle as his new residence. This purchase transformed the region and led to the building of one of the area's most significant baroque structures.
The name Löwenstein comes from the family that has called this place home for centuries and shaped its identity. Today, visitors can sense how the elaborate interior decoration reflects the taste and power of those who once ruled from here.
The castle functions as a conference hotel today, so standard tourist visits typically require advance arrangement or may be limited to event days. The setting in the Neckar valley makes it relatively easy to locate and the building dominates the village skyline.
An English landscape garden with several pavilions surrounds the castle and was designed by Prince Dominik Konstantin. The park reveals how tastes shifted from formal baroque gardens to more natural garden styles that became fashionable in the 18th century.
