Schloss Benzenhofen

Schloss Benzenhofen, Tudor-style château in Berg, Germany

Schloss Benzenhofen is a two-storey rendered building in the Tudor style, erected from 1898 to 1899 on a former farm estate at Berg in the Ravensburg district. The estate at purchase comprised a dwelling house, a barn, a Göppelhaus, a fruit store and a coach house; a bakehouse and washhouse, a smithy, meadows, gardens and fields belonged to it when completed.

The castle was built between 1898 and 1901 by Otto Benze, who acquired the property in 1897 and financed the construction through his marriage to French noblewoman Marie Luise Lülling du Repaire de Truffin. After financial difficulties, the estate changed hands multiple times and eventually came under the management of the Pfeiffer family.

The castle housed an art collection including Flemish paintings of Christ on the cross and sculptures potentially created by Jean Antoine Houdon before financial difficulties led to their loss.

The castle is located in the Schussental region of Baden-Württemberg and is visible from the exterior for visitors exploring the area. It is recommended to check in advance whether the building is accessible, as it remains a private residence.

The estate's name was a self-awarded noble title: Otto Benze called himself Benze von Benzenhofen while still a student and bought the Benzenhofen farm in 1897 to legitimise the disputed title. He always called the property a Rittergut, though it was an ordinary farm when purchased.
