The Fugger Castle Gablingen is a historic castle in the municipality of Gablingen in the district of Augsburg, Bavaria. It was acquired in the 16th century by the influential Fugger merchant family and served as the administrative seat of their rule in the region. The castle is picturesquely situated on a hill above the Schmutter River and is directly connected to the neighboring parish church of St. Martin. This connection symbolizes the close connection between secular and ecclesiastical power at that time. The castle building is characterized by its late Gothic architecture with a steep gable roof and bay windows. A striking staircase tower with an onion dome complements the ensemble. In 2020, the listed castle was restored and renovated according to original plans, taking into account both modern living standards and the historical building fabric. Today the castle is privately owned and is not open to the public. Nevertheless, it remains an important testimony to regional history and architectural development in Swabia.
