Schloss Weinberg

Schloss Weinberg is a medieval castle near the Ach river that stands on elevated ground. The building displays architectural elements from different periods and features a central courtyard.

Abbot Ulrich III founded the fortress in 1077 on the foundations of a Roman site. It was built to control an important trade route through the region.

The castle houses collections of objects that tell the story of the region across centuries. Visitors can see how residents once lived here, from furniture to everyday items.

The venue offers exhibitions, guided tours, and events throughout the year. Visitors should be prepared for typical outdoor weather conditions while exploring the restored medieval rooms.

Contemporary art installations by a noted Swiss artist create contrast between modern works and ancient stone walls. This combination allows visitors to experience old and new forms of creativity in the same space.
