Schloss Heubach, 16th-century castle in Heubach, Germany.
Schloss Heubach is a three-story rectangular castle from the 16th century featuring painted walls with Christian motifs and scenes depicting daily medieval life. The facade tells stories of how people lived through these detailed artistic decorations.
Georg VII von Woellwarth initiated construction in 1525 on the grounds of a former church, receiving a barn, garden, and storage house in exchange elsewhere in Heubach. This exchange shaped how the area developed and what buildings remained.
The castle houses a corset museum showcasing regional fashion history and exhibitions featuring local heritage collections. Visitors can explore how people dressed in daily life and discover the craftsmanship traditions of the area.
The municipal library occupies the ground floor, while a decorative hall serves as a wedding venue for ceremonies. Visitors should plan their visit with flexibility, as different sections may have varying access depending on current events.
The second floor remained largely unchanged for centuries while serving as a hay storage area, preserving original architectural features. This level shows rare examples of intact medieval construction techniques that visitors can observe today.
