The Fronhof is closely intertwined with the history of the Reformation. In front of the former episcopal residence, the Augsburg Confession, or Augsburg Confession, was publicly proclaimed in 1530. At the insistence of the Elector of Saxony, the text was read aloud not only in Latin but also in German. Today, a simple plaque commemorates this event.

Built in 1550, in 1700 the castle came into the possession of the Augsburg patrician family von Stetten through marriage

Wolfgang von Paler the Elder was granted sheep in 1550. He commissioned the construction of a new palace around 1550/60. The building was presumably destroyed by the Swedes in 1648. The new owner, Raimund Egger, had the palace rebuilt.

Hammel Castle is located in the Hammel district of the town of Neusäß in the Augsburg district, Bavaria. The castle is owned by the von Stetten family. History: • 1550: Wolfgang von Paler the Elder is granted Hammel and initiates the construction of the new castle around 1550/60. • 1648: The building is probably destroyed by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War. • After 1648: The new owner, Raimund Egger, has the castle rebuilt. • 1700: Through marriage, two thirds of the castle becomes the property of the Augsburg patrician family von Stetten; later the family also acquires the remaining share. • Mid-19th century: Extensive renovation work is carried out. • 1891: Under the planning of the Augsburg architect Jean Keller, the east-west wing is extended and the facade structure is renewed and the south gable is decorated with neo-Gothic battlements. Architecture: The castle consists of two three-story wings. The shorter "old building" has a gable roof and a facade structure with neo-Gothic battlements. The surrounding wall is equipped with four defensive towers, including the so-called Malakow Tower on the southeast corner, which was provided with a balustrade and an arbor-like structure made of wood in 1856. Current use: Hammel Castle is still owned by the von Stetten family and is not open to the public. However, the historic complex is an important cultural monument in the region and an example of the architecture and history of Augsburg's patrician families.

Here, the church's money was clearly invested in favor of its leadership. Whether that was wise is debatable. At least it is now available for everyone to use.
