Schloss Schillingsfürst

Schloss Schillingsfürst is a baroque palace with three wings perched on a steep ridge of the Frankenhöhe landscape. The building contains about 70 rooms and dominates the surrounding area through its substantial size and classical design.

The palace was designed in 1750 by architect Louis Remy de la Fosse, replacing earlier castles that had been destroyed during wars. This new construction rose after conflicts that had affected the region for decades.

The palace takes its name from the Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst family who made it their home for generations. The rooms reflect how a princely family lived and worked, filled with furnishings and objects that show their daily rhythms.

A visit is best experienced as a guided tour to access the rooms throughout the building. During warmer months, allow time to explore the grounds where you can appreciate the location on the elevated ridge.

The grounds include a falconry courtyard where visitors can observe European raptors and watch handlers train them daily. This offering blends medieval tradition with modern animal care and provides guests with an unexpected experience.
