Schloss Höchstädt, Royal palace in Höchstädt an der Donau, Germany.
The palace stands near the Danube River with four wings surrounding a central courtyard, featuring late Renaissance architectural elements and a Gothic tower.
Built between 1589 and 1603 by Graubünden masons following designs by Lienhart Grieneisen, the palace served as a widow's residence for Duchess Anna until 1632.
The castle chapel contains vault paintings that represent significant examples of South German Protestant art from the pre-Counter-Reformation period.
The German Faience Museum inside the castle displays 1,000 pieces across 900 square meters, presenting ceramics from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The palace maintains permanent exhibitions about the 1704 Battle of Höchstädt, which marked a turning point in the War of Spanish Succession.
