Schloss Gondelsheim

Schloss Gondelsheim is a castle with Neo-Gothic features and Victorian architectural elements in Gondelsheim. The property encompasses an English-style landscaped park with gardens and pathways covering approximately 6 hectares.

The castle first appears in written records from 1257 and underwent various modifications over the centuries. Architect Georg Jakob Schneider redesigned it in 1857, introducing Scottish architectural influences to the structure.

The fountain on the grounds features a replica of Walter Schott's 1903 sculpture 'Three Dancing Girls', recreated in 2003 through community donations. The statue now stands as the centerpiece of the garden landscape and shapes how visitors experience the place.

The grounds are accessible during scheduled opening hours, with new management taking over operations after a renovation period. Visitors should check current access times and possible events beforehand.

The castle served as a filming location for 'Sandmann der Film' in collaboration with the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg. This film production added another layer of significance to the location within regional cinema history.
