Schloss Wolfegg, Renaissance castle in Wolfegg, Germany.

The main building of Schloss Wolfegg contains four rectangular wings with towers positioned at each corner, forming a harmonious architectural ensemble.

Following destruction by Swedish troops in 1646 during the Thirty Years' War, the castle underwent restoration work that started in 1651 due to financial limitations.

The Knights' Hall features 24 life-sized wooden sculptures and large ceiling mirrors, representing German Baroque architectural design of the period.

The castle opens its doors twice yearly for international classical music concerts in the Knights' Hall, allowing visitors to explore selected interior rooms.

In 1901, researchers discovered the Waldseemüller map from 1507 at Schloss Wolfegg, marking the first printed document naming the continent of America.
