Schloss Gablingen, Renaissance château in Gablingen, Germany
Schloss Gablingen is a Renaissance château featuring a steeply gabled roof and bay windows on its main structure, complemented by an elongated front building. The complex sits on elevated ground overlooking the Schmutter River valley.
The Fugger family, prominent Augsburg merchants, acquired the castle in 1527 from Sebastian von Knöringen. They retained ownership until 1889, when the property changed hands.
The portal displays Fugger lilies in a wrought iron grille window, reflecting this family's lasting role in the region.
The estate sits on elevated ground next to St. Martin's Church and is clearly visible from public spaces. A comprehensive restoration in 2020 adapted the castle for modern living standards.
The castle and St. Martin's Church beside it form an architectural ensemble perched above the Schmutter River. This location at the edge of Lechtal makes it a landmark in the local landscape.
