Schloss Harthausen, Royal palace in Rettenbach, Germany.

The four-story palace features two side wings, distinctive curved gables, and corner towers arranged in a symmetrical layout around a central courtyard.

The southern wing contains Gothic construction from 1450, while Baron Johann Alexander von Riedheim ordered extensive modifications between 1763 and 1770.

The palace displays multiple family crests in stucco above the entrance gate, including the Riedheim, Stauffenberg, Hornstein, Giel, and Freyberg families.

Located at Schloßstraße 12 in Rettenbach-Harthausen, the palace remains a private residence and access to the grounds is restricted.

Half of the palace windows are executed in trompe-l'oeil painting technique, creating an optical illusion on the facade.
