Kreßbach

Kreßbach is a baroque castle near Tübingen featuring a three-story main building with ornately decorated doorways. A later addition extends from the southern side, creating a cohesive ensemble that blends the original structure with its newer wing.

The castle was built in 1766 by the von Saint-André family, who have retained ownership through the following centuries. The structure emerged during the final phase of baroque architecture in the region.

The castle displays alliance coats of arms on its portals and eastern balcony, representing the union of noble families Saint-André and Leutrum von Ertringen.

The castle sits in a location where hiking trails to the Schwäbische Alb depart easily from the surroundings. A golf course nearby offers additional leisure options for visitors exploring the area.

An inscription carved into the stone above the left doorway identifies the original builder and is surrounded by family crests. This detail is often overlooked by visitors despite being framed by the elaborate heraldic carvings.
