Schloss Wengwies, Architectural heritage monument in Eschenlohe, Germany.

Schloss Wengwies is a historicist manor house built in 1902 by the architects' office Jack & Wanner for Fritz von Stetten, who came from an Augsburg patrician family. It stands in Wengwies, a hamlet of Eschenlohe in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district, and is listed as a Bavarian monument (D-1-80-114-17).

Wengwies first appears in the Ettaler Salbuch of 1335 as two half-farms of the Ettal monastery, the Wastl and Hauser holdings. Count Hermann von Stainlein-Saalenstein bought the hamlet in 1879; Fritz von Stetten, from an Augsburg patrician family, then acquired it and had Jack & Wanner build the castle in 1902. After World War I it passed to textile entrepreneur Fritz Rechberg of Bad Hersfeld, whose brother Arnold, a sculptor and anti-Bolshevik publicist, lived there for a time. It remains with the Rechberg family.

Wengwies began as two half-farms of the Ettal monastery, recorded in its first Salbuch of 1335. After 1918 the estate passed to the textile manufacturer Fritz Rechberg of Bad Hersfeld, whose brother Arnold, a sculptor and anti-Bolshevik publicist, lived there for a time. The Rechberg family still owns the castle.

The building sits in a quiet village setting in the Alpine foothills and is easily accessible from the town center. Visitors should allow time to view the exterior and surrounding landscape at a leisurely pace.

A member of the owning family was himself a noted sculptor and political writer who used the house as a hub for artistic activities. His works and writings connected the private residence to the broader cultural scene of his era.
