Schloss Horn

Schloss Horn is a rectangular castle in Göggingen standing on a rocky hilltop between the Lein and Federbach rivers. The structure features a mansard roof and nine window axes across its facade.

Two brothers, Rupert Franz Xaver and Franz Christoph Benedict von Schwarzach, built this castle between 1750 and 1762 on the site of an earlier medieval fortification. The new construction replaced the older structure with a Baroque residence.

The main entrance displays coats of arms representing aristocratic alliances, while the attached chapel shows Rococo decorative details from the 18th century. This interior adornment reflects the importance of the residence as an aristocratic seat.

The castle remains in private ownership and is not open to visitors. Water damage has affected various parts of the structure, and substantial restoration work is needed throughout.

Inside, the building preserves its original floor plan featuring a grand enfilade running the entire length of the main floor. Original Baroque doors and windows remain intact throughout this sequence.
