Schloss Eschenau, Renaissance castle in Obersulm, Germany

The castle features a three-story rectangular structure with a gabled roof and includes a square tower positioned at its northwestern corner section.

Initially documented in the 13th century, the original castle was destroyed in 1504 and rebuilt in 1573 under the direction of Baron Pleickhard von Gemmingen.

The 1745 renovations by Johann Melchior von Killinger transformed the castle into an exemplar of Rococo architecture in the Baden-Württemberg region.

Located in the Heilbronn district of Baden-Württemberg, the castle remains private property and requires visitors to maintain respectful distance from the premises.

During 1941-1942, the castle functioned as a forced retirement home for 116 elderly Jewish individuals before their deportation to concentration camps.
