The wonderfully preserved castle palace sits enthroned on a central hill above the old town of Füssen and still displays (more or less) the results of the extensive expansion of the complex from 1489 to 1504. With its magnificently representative roof, facade, and tower designs, its fabulous illusionist paintings, and its exemplary Zwinger design, it is one of the most significant secular buildings of the German Late Gothic period. It served as a summer residence for the Prince-Bishops of Augsburg until secularization. Afterward, it became the property of Bavaria and was subsequently used as a district court, a tax office, and a museum, which houses several impressive paintings from the Bavarian State Gallery, as well as a few works of primarily local interest from the municipal picture gallery.

Is of course one of the most beautiful views of Füssen. Can be used for a detour to the Lechfall.

The old town of Füssen is also very worthwhile to visit
