Schloss Umkirch, Château in Umkirch, Germany.
Description
Schloss Umkirch is a three-story château with a central block featuring triangular gables and a hipped roof. Side wings with decorative details extend from the main structure, and a belvedere crowns the composition.
History
A medieval water castle formerly stood on this site and was replaced between 1787 and 1789 with the current building commissioned by the Kageneck family. The new structure soon became an important aristocratic summer residence in the region.
Culture
The name reflects the local noble family connected to this estate, and the building's design shows the tastes of its aristocratic residents. Rooms inside reveal how such residences served as gathering places for European nobility of the period.
Practical
This property is privately owned and closed to the public, as it remains a residence of the Hohenzollern family. Visitors can view the exterior from nearby public paths that pass through the area.
Did you know?
Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Baden acquired the estate in 1826 and transformed it into a fashionable retreat for European nobility. This connection to one of the period's most influential women left a lasting mark on the property's character.
