Schloss Wiser, Renaissance and Baroque château in Hirschberg an der Bergstraße, Germany

Schloss Wiser features Italian-influenced architectural elements on its facade, with a main castle building, chapel, wing building, and carriage house.

Count Ferdinand Andreas von Wiser commissioned the construction of this summer residence between 1710 and 1715, with architect Johann Jacob Rischer leading the project.

The castle grounds include a Loreto chapel that held the Black Madonna of Leutershausen until 1907, when it was transferred to St. Johannes Baptist Church.

The castle remains private property of the Wiser family since 1800, making both the castle and its gardens closed to public visits.

Every August during the Feast of the Assumption, a pilgrimage with a light procession moves through the castle garden to the courtyard chapel.
