Schloss Deufringen, 16th-century château in Aidlingen, Germany.
Schloss Deufringen is a rectangular 16th-century château featuring solid masonry walls on the ground floor and half-timbered sections on the upper stories, finished with a hipped roof. The structure underwent comprehensive renovation in 1981 and now serves as a community center.
Built in 1592 by architect Heinrich Schickhardt for Jakob von Gültlingen, the château remained under family ownership until 1699. This extended period of continuous occupation shaped the property's development over several generations.
Today the château hosts music events, particularly jazz concerts in its vaulted basement, which connect the building to the local community's creative life. This contemporary use keeps the space active and culturally engaged.
The château is located at Aidlinger Straße 3 in the Deufringen district and operates as a public community center. Visitors should know that the building is primarily used for events, so access times may vary depending on scheduled activities.
A tragic incident in 1600 saw Jakob von Gültlingen fatally wound his guest Konrad von Degenfeld after a moment of confusion. This dark chapter remains part of the château's recorded history.
