Altes Schloss

Altes Schloss is a town hall and cultural monument in Tettnang, a three-story building with distinctive architectural features. Its prominent entrance portal displays decorated coats of arms representing the original builder and his two wives from noble families.

Master builder Michael Kuen constructed this structure in 1667 under Count Johann V, rebuilding after destruction during the Thirty Years War. The building emerged during a period of regional reconstruction and renewal.

The council chamber displays a detailed panel painting from 1818 showing the city view of Tettnang with an integrated clock mechanism. This artwork offers a window into how the town looked during that era and remains a focal point when visitors enter the room.

The building now serves as the administrative center of the town and is accessible to visitors who wish to explore its historic rooms. Its central location in Tettnang makes it easy to find and visit.

The staircase features a former altar painting from Langenargen monastery depicting Count Anton III with his patron saints and the holy family. This religious artwork was relocated from its original sacred setting into a secular space, telling a story of how spaces were repurposed over time.
