Schloss Leitheim

Schloss Leitheim is a castle in Leitheim, Bavaria, that overlooks the Danube Valley with a two-story structure featuring baroque elements and ornate stucco details. A grand hall forms the centerpiece of the interior, showcasing the architectural craftsmanship of its time.

Construction of the castle started in 1680 as a summer residence for the Cistercian community. A second floor was added between 1740 and 1751 to expand the living quarters for the monks.

The Rococo hall serves as a venue for classical music concerts and celebrations throughout the year. Visitors and locals gather here for special occasions, and the ornate stucco work creates an elegant setting for performances.

The castle operates as a hotel with a restaurant serving regional dishes and a wellness area with sauna and steam bath facilities. An outdoor pool overlooks the vineyard landscape surrounding the property.

The castle grounds have produced Pinot Blanc wine since 2015 on the property. This revives a centuries-old winemaking tradition that the Cistercian monks originally established in the region.
