Schloss Kirchberg

Schloss Kirchberg is a château in Immenstaad am Bodensee with towers, decorated façades, and traditional architectural elements from the 19th century. The building stands on elevated grounds overlooking the Bodensee region and shapes the landscape with its classical German style.

The castle was originally founded in 1240 and underwent several transformations over time. Between 1590 and 1597, it received its Renaissance architecture, which remains visible today.

The castle reflects the architectural preferences of German nobility during the Romantic era, with extensive gardens designed for leisurely walks. The building and grounds show how wealthy families lived and arranged their estates in the 19th century.

Access to the castle is limited because the main building now serves as a retirement home run by the Lutheran Church, though the outer grounds remain partially viewable. Visitors should inquire beforehand about which areas are open and what rules apply to any visit.

The interior once housed a cabinet of curiosities and a Rococo hall decorated with frescoes by Joachim Georg Creutzfelder, with some artworks now displayed at Neuenstein Castle. These artistic treasures reveal the former importance and wealth of the property during its private ownership.
