Ruins of a former castle with explanatory panels

Neutrauchburg Castle is an excellent choice if you want to visit Isny im Allgäu. The accommodation offers a family-friendly environment with many amenities for travelers and also impresses with the ideal combination of price-performance, comfort and convenience.

A very nice castle, good for taking photos if the cars weren't parked in front of it. Somehow that doesn't fit at all. The fact that the hotel operators don't do anything about it... a very bad image to the outside world...

Count Franz Anton von Waldburg-Zeil inherited the county of Trauchburg in 1772. Since then the family has carried the name "Waldburg-Zeil-Trauchburg". Count Anton designated Mechensee as the new administrative center of the county. In 1785/86 the official building, today's Neutrauchburg Castle, marked the end of his extensive building work. It housed the chief office and the archives of the rulers. It was also Count Franz Anton who renamed Mechensee “Neutrauchburg”. Neutrauchburg Castle has only been used privately by the princely house of Waldburg-Zeil-Trauchburg since the 19th century, partly as a residence for the hereditary family and partly as a widow's residence for the princesses. From 1848 to 1856, the castle served as a private boarding school for Prince Constantin von Waldburg-Zeil-Trauchburg. The grandmother of today's Prince Erich von Waldburg-Zeil, Countess Monika, lived in Neutrauchburg Castle until her death in 1953. In 2008, the castle was extensively restored, converted into a hotel with great attention to detail and opened as a hotel and restaurant in the summer.

Beautiful little ruin with a view of the Iller

Only the tower of the Neu Kalden ruins can be seen, the basement is accessible, the first floor is closed.

The rest of the Neu Kalden ruins, old Kalden slipped into the river a long time ago.
