The castle in the municipality of Lautrach, in the Swabian district of Unterallgäu, has a long history: It was built in 1781 by the Prince Abbot of Kempten, Honorius Roth von Schreckenstein. Initially, it served as a provost's residence and hunting lodge, then as a boarding school for the daughters of the upper classes, and since 1923, it has been a meeting place for scholars and artists. In 1989, it was converted into a conference center and hotel.

登録有形文化財のこの水車小屋は1698年に建てられ、かつてはリーベントアン城の水車小屋でした。 現在、水車小屋、製材所、納屋、そして人気のレストランがあるこの邸宅は、人々が集う場所であると同時に、静かで内省的な場所でもあります。

May 2024: The High Castle has new owners after more than 25 years. A symbolic groundbreaking ceremony has now taken place to mark the start of the renovation of the castle and its ring iron house. The plan is to convert it into a hotel, and the actual work is expected to begin in the summer. Bernd Jäger, the project's developer and managing partner of JaKo Baudenkmalpflege GmbH, looked back on the roughly thousand-year history of the High Castle. "A building remains and outlasts many human lives," Jäger pointed out. The High Castle has had changing uses and well-known residents such as the Pappenheimers, the Fuggers or the Prince Abbots of Kempten. People have served the building sustainably and it should stay that way. The 77-year-old developer Wolfgang Scheidtweiler, managing director of the Private Castle Hotel Collection, and his team have a lot of experience in the renovation and conversion of castles. The Private Castle Hotel Collection includes 14 hotels from the Eifel to Lake Constance. "It will be a very beautiful 4-star-plus hotel. The special thing and the experience will be the castle," announced Scheidtweiler for Bad Grönenbach, while emphasizing: "It will remain your living room, the High Castle will remain accessible to everyone." The district educational garden that surrounds the castle will also continue to exist. In the coming years, the Ringeisenhaus in particular will be transformed into a hotel, but "it will still take some time before the first guest arrives," said Kerler.
