Tucherschloss in Feucht, Manor house in Feucht, Germany

Tucherschloss is a Renaissance manor house in Feucht, one of three surviving patrician castles of Nuremberg. Herdegen IV Tucher built it in 1591/92 on a farm plot, with a stair tower serving each floor. The ground floor held the hall, storage vaults and a kitchen; the first floor had living rooms and the second the great hall. Since 1990 it has been privately owned and restored, now housing the Schlosswirt tavern, apartments and offices.

Herdegen IV Tucher, born 1533 and head of the Tucher trading company with his brother Paul from 1568, bought a small farmstead in Feucht in 1586. After obtaining a building permit in autumn 1590, he had the manor house built in 1591/92, justifying its size by the allegedly damp ground. In 1632 imperial soldiers plundered the house and burned down the Voithaus. The Tucher family used the estate mainly for summer stays until it was auctioned in 1832.

The name Tucherschloss comes from the Nuremberg patrician family Tucher, who used the Feucht estate mainly for summer stays. Herdegen IV Tucher founded a family trust (Vorschickung) before his death in 1614, and the eldest descendant of his brother Paul managed it. The nearby gardener's house and summer house with a summer hall survive from the Baroque garden laid out in the 18th century.

The manor is private property since 1990 and houses the Schlosswirt tavern, apartments and offices, so only the tavern is open to the public. The neighbouring Baroque garden, rebuilt by the market town of Feucht in 2007/2008 after a 1757 plan, can be visited. The site lies in Feucht, at the south-western edge of the Hersbrucker Alb hills.

The four corner turrets that once defined the manor's roofline were demolished in the early 19th century, around the time the property became an inn. The garden buildings that survive beside the house, a gardener's house and a summer house with a summer hall and winter quarters, are considered especially valuable in garden-history terms.
