Schloss Assumstadt

Schloss Assumstadt is a Baroque château in Möckmühl featuring a two-story three-wing structure with short side wings, mansard roof, and decorative detailing throughout. An oval dome hall acts as a garden room, creating a transition between interior spaces and the surrounding grounds.

Construction concluded in 1769 under master builder Paul Wiedhopf, who followed designs by Johann Joseph Wirch for patron Carl Reinhard von Ellrichshausen. The building rose on the site of an earlier settlement, marking a shift in how the land was used and developed.

The château presents itself as a place where visitors can experience Rococo aesthetics in the garden layout and oval dome hall. These spaces shape how people gather and celebrate, reflecting how the era valued elegant gathering spaces.

The building is fully wheelchair accessible and accommodates gatherings of various types. Visitors should check in advance about opening times, as the grounds primarily serve private events and celebrations.

The name derives from Asmanstat, an older settlement that once stood southwest of Züttlingen. The château represents the main surviving trace of that earlier community and preserves this connection through its name.
