... in Winnenden, in the Rems-Murr district, Baden-Württemberg.

- In 1288, "Berthold von Neuffen" donated part of the rights and goods of his Winnenden estates to the "Teutonic Order."
- Around 1300, the "Teutonic Order" moved from the town of Winnenden to this property and founded a "Teutonic Order Commandery" there.
- The oldest building of the present-day palace complex dates from this period.
- In 1665, "Duke Eberhard III of Württemberg" acquired the complex from the "Teutonic Order."
- From 1300 to 1800, the palace complex was continually altered through additions and renovations.

- From 1677, the palace was the noble residence of the Württemberg branch of the "Württemberg-Winnental" line.
- From 1796, "Sophie Albertine von Beichlingen" (wife of "Duke Ludwig Eugene of Württemberg") used the palace as a widow's residence.
- At this time (early 18th century), the palace garden was also laid out.

- In 1813, the castle complex was converted into a barracks.

From 1830 to 1833, the castle was converted into a mental hospital, the "Winnental Sanatorium," by the Duke of Württemberg's master builder "Friedrich Bernhard Adam Groß."

Today, the castle houses the "Klinikum Schloß Winnenden," a Baden-Württemberg Center for Psychiatry (ZfP) with four specialized clinics.
