Schloss Stetten

Schloss Stetten is a palace in Kernen im Remstal built from solid stone walls with multiple floors displaying architectural elements from the 15th century. The structure stands in Baden-Württemberg's Stuttgart region and demonstrates through its construction how regional fortified residences developed over time.

Frederick II had the first fortification built in 1443, creating an important residential castle for regional noble families. It later shaped the development of local nobility and left a lasting mark on the area's architecture.

The palace shapes the village with its solid stone structure, reflecting how regional noble families built their homes. Its appearance still conveys the power and wealth of those who once lived there.

The palace is located at Schloßstraße 2 and can be visited through organized tours that show visitors around the building and explain its importance. Check the visiting arrangements beforehand since entry is typically available only for guided group visits at scheduled times.

The palace chapel received substantial investments in relics and altars that formed the foundation for the adjacent Evangelical Supreme Parish. This religious connection reveals how closely noble residences were linked to the church development of their region.
