Schloss Türkenfeld

Schloss Türkenfeld is a Baroque castle in southeastern Bavaria, designed as a two-story structure with a pitched roof. The building displays characteristic features such as a convex projection and a triangular pediment that emerged from the 1725 reconstruction.

The original castle was built in the 13th century as a fortified structure and acquired in 1598 by the Counts of Fugger-Kirchberg. Following its destruction during the Thirty Years' War, it underwent a major transformation into the Baroque style.

The castle takes its name from the Fuggers, a wealthy merchant family who displayed their power through this residence. Today visitors can observe restored paintings on the facade that reveal how nobles decorated their buildings.

The castle is now located in the town center of Türkenfeld and functions as the municipal town hall. Visitors can observe the building from the outside and take in its architecture and restored facade decorations.

Beneath the castle lie remains from the medieval and early modern periods that are protected as ground monuments. These underground layers tell the story of different settlement periods at this location.
