    Kilchberg was first mentioned in a document in 1261. The castle, presumably several decades older, was owned by an imperial knight family of the same name. From 1261 to 1438 the castle was owned by the Leschers, whose coat of arms is still the Kilchberg coat of arms today. The Lescher were replaced by the Knights of Ehingen. Georg I von Ehingen, who was involved in the founding of the University of Tübingen as an advisor to Count Eberhard von Württemberg, was the builder of today's castle. After the Ehingers died out in 1608, there were several changes of ownership until 1779, when the castle fell to the Barons of Ticino, who are still the owners today. The imperial immediacy of the property lasted until 1806.

      Unfortunately, you can't get in, but the view over the fence shows beautifully restored buildings.
