The village of Hummstadt - as Hohenstadt was once called with its castle and pilgrimage church - was first mentioned in 1147.
The oldest baroque hedge garden in Europe belongs to the palace. With its avenue of spherical trees and the small pleasure palace, it is reminiscent of the large gardens in Vienna, Paris or Versailles.
The castle and pilgrimage church Hohenstadt with its late Gothic Madonna, completed in 1711 by Chr. Jochum in the 'Vorarlberg Baroque' style, is one of the most beautiful Baroque buildings of this type.

The back garden of Graf Adelmann's Hohenstadt Castle is just a few steps north of the castle and is one of the oldest gardens of its kind in Europe. A first mention dates to the year 1549. 1756 was a new installation in French style. The pleasure house in the garden, a two-storey "garden house", was built in 1760. The entire facility is listed since 1982 and is open to the public.
