Schloss Kirchheim in Schwaben, Renaissance palace in Kirchheim in Schwaben, Germany.

The castle features Spanish-influenced architecture with a grand facade, extensive gardens, and intricate architectural details spread across multiple wings and courtyards.

Hans Fugger commissioned architect Jakob Eschay to construct this palace between 1578 and 1585, modeling it after the Spanish El Escorial complex.

The cedar hall within the palace demonstrates superior acoustic properties, making it a center for musical performances and cultural gatherings throughout Bavaria.

The palace welcomes visitors daily from April through October, with guided tours available in German and English at regular intervals.

The palace contains a dedicated church within its complex, following the architectural pattern of Spanish monasteries from the 16th century.
