Rotes Schloss Jagsthausen, Cultural heritage castle in Jagsthausen, Germany
Rotes Schloss Jagsthausen is a manor house with distinctive red stonework and a mansard roof located in Baden-Württemberg. The building sits on the grounds of a former Roman fort and functions today as an event venue and restaurant.
Hans Reinhard von Berlichingen built the castle between 1572 and 1590 as a show of his family's rising power. The facade was reworked in the 18th century to reflect the architectural style of that era.
The interior preserves original paintings from the late Renaissance period, showing how the noble family displayed their wealth and taste through their home. These artworks reflect the artistic preferences of wealthy German nobility of that era.
The castle is best reached on foot from the village center and has adequate parking nearby. Visitors should know that interior access is mainly available during events or restaurant operating hours.
The castle stands directly next to Götzenburg, the main family residence, a rare example of two noble estates on adjacent grounds. This close proximity allowed the family to visibly display their holdings and control over the region.
