Schloss Donaueschingen, Historical château in Donaueschingen, Germany

The residence features French Baroque Revival architecture with prominent wings, decorative elements, and a central reception hall illuminated by natural light.

The Fürstenberg family acquired the original fortified house in 1488, with the current palace structure completed in 1723 under Prince Joseph Wilhelm Ernst.

Mozart composed music for Prince Joseph Wenzel during his twelve-day visit in 1763, receiving 24 gold ducats for his musical creation.

The palace offers guided tours of its interior spaces, which display furniture and decorations spanning from Renaissance to Empire periods.

The palace grounds contain the source of the Danube River at the northwestern edge of its surrounding park.
