Meßkirch Castle, Renaissance château in Messkirch, Germany

The castle features a notable four-wing structure with a central courtyard and houses multiple museums within its stone walls.

Construction of the current castle began in 1557 under Froben Christoph, following his decision to replace the decaying previous structure from 1400.
