Schloss Hainhofen, Baroque castle in Neusäß, Germany
Schloss Hainhofen is a Baroque castle in Neusäß combining a four-story main building with a hipped roof and a connected classical long building. A passage links both sections together, creating a cohesive architectural complex.
The original water castle was transformed in 1582 when Anton Fugger acquired the property and built a Renaissance complex with upper and lower sections. The long building received its current form between 1760 and 1780 with additional architectural elements.
A chapel built into the western ground floor room in 1854 displays the coat of arms of the Rehlingen family and reflects the private devotion of the estate's former residents. It shows how the family expressed their faith within their own home.
The privately owned estate underwent extensive renovations and received the Monument Preservation Award from the Swabian district in 2013 for restoration work. Visitors should note that the castle is not open for tours since it remains in private hands.
The long building features only two and a half floors beneath a flat hipped roof, an unusual design that sets it apart from typical symmetrical castle construction. This asymmetrical solution shows how Renaissance and Baroque styles merged in practice.
