Schloss Wachbach, Renaissance castle in Bad Mergentheim, Germany.
Schloss Wachbach is a four-wing Renaissance castle in Bad Mergentheim, distinguished by its round corner towers and symmetric layout. The Adelsheim family coat of arms crowns the main entrance portal, marking its noble heritage.
Built between 1588 and 1592 by Michel Niklas, the castle replaced an earlier 12th-century fortress on the same ground. This construction marked a shift from military stronghold to a representative noble residence.
The castle displays architectural features typical of the Renaissance period in the Main-Tauber region. Its design reflects the wealth and taste of the noble family who made it their home.
The castle sits near Bad Mergentheim and is most easily reached by car via the region's local roads. Visitors should check ahead about access, as the building is currently undergoing renovation work.
Each of the four corner towers offers different views across the Wachbach district and the surrounding Baden-Württemberg landscape. This variety of perspectives allows visitors to experience the property and its setting from multiple angles.
