Schloss Weiler, Renaissance château in Obersulm, Germany.
Schloss Weiler is a two-story Renaissance building constructed on a raised foundation with plastered walls and half-timbered upper sections topped by a half-hipped roof on the southern side. The structure maintains its original architectural features and sits within a park containing mature trees.
The von Weiler family appeared in records from 1322 and built the original water castle in the 14th century. A major reconstruction between 1588 and 1590 transformed it into the Renaissance structure visible today.
The neighboring evangelical parish church began as a castle chapel in 1399 and remains a focal point of the local community. Its presence next to the residence shows how religious and domestic life were closely linked in this area.
The castle remains privately owned, so visitors should respect posted signs and maintain distance from residential areas. The surrounding park can be explored on foot and provides access to the grounds without entering the main building.
The castle park, developed between 1834 and 1853, contains one of Germany's largest chestnut trees growing among its winding paths. This ancient tree stands out as a natural landmark within the grounds.
