Schloss Affaltrach, Medieval castle in Obersulm, Germany.
Schloss Affaltrach is a castle in Obersulm with multiple building wings arranged around a central courtyard, displaying architectural elements from different periods in its stonework and layout. Today it serves as a winery space where visitors can see the rooms used for tastings and tours.
The castle was founded in 1289 as a commandery of the Order of St. John and received its current form through major renovations in the 18th century. These changes shaped how the building looks today and remain visible in its structure.
The castle houses a winery that carries on the regional winemaking practice of northern Württemberg, and visitors can see how this tradition is part of daily life here. The spaces reveal the importance of wine to the area's identity and heritage.
Visitors can see the wine rooms and join guided tours, but must reserve in advance for these activities. Smaller groups have more flexibility with spontaneous visits, while larger visits need an arranged date to ensure proper service.
The winery specializes in creating custom bottle designs for business clients and has produced over 15,000 different label variations. This custom work forms a significant part of their contemporary wine operations.
