Schloss Hurlach, Renaissance château in Hurlach, Bavaria, Germany

Schloss Hurlach is a rectangular, five-storey Renaissance building with a pitched roof, four corner towers, an octagonal domed oriel and stepped gables, standing on the Lechfeld 150 metres south of the parish church of St. Laurentius. Its pale cream facade has rows of tall windows with pale-green shutters, and the entrance portal is framed by a carved stone archivolt with leaf motifs beneath a coat of arms and the banner "10. Februar 1899".

The Fugger family acquired the Hurlach estate in 1607/08, and Markus Fugger had the Renaissance castle built around 1610. The Fuggers sold it in 1643/52, after which it passed through the noble families Langenmantel, Pemler, Donnersberg, Karwinsky, Leyen, Horlacher and Schnurbein. Otto von Schnurbein, who bought it in 1898, had it renovated under Jean Keller, and Hans Schnell added extensions in 1904.

The Fuggers, who bought the Hofmark in 1607/08, laid out a large flower and fruit garden around the castle. Above the entrance portal is the coat of arms of the von Schnurbein family, who acquired the building in 1898. Since 1972 the Christian mission Jugend mit einer Mission has used the castle as a training and education centre.

The castle stands 150 metres south of the parish church of St. Laurentius in Hurlach, on the Lechfeld plain. It is now a training and education centre run by Jugend mit einer Mission, so visits depend on the organisation's programme rather than regular opening hours. The building is a listed monument and is visible from the surrounding area.

The castle passed to the SOS-Kinderdorf association in 1965, which set up a child and adolescent psychiatric ward there. Since 1972 it has belonged to the Christian mission organisation Jugend mit einer Mission, which runs it as a training and education centre.
