A magnificent, massive Renaissance palace on the edge of the old town. A beautiful park surrounds it. Today, it houses the district court.

Large lawn with a view of the castle. The shade of the trees makes it wonderful in summer. Together with the playground next door, it is also ideal for families with small children.

Under Duke Ulrich (1498–1550), Schorndorf Castle was probably built in 1538 on the site of an older moated castle. It was intended to serve as a state fortress alongside the fortifications of Hohenneuffen, Hohenurach, Hohenasperg, Hohentwiel and the city fortresses of Schorndorf and Kirchheim (Teck). In the 16th century, Schorndorf was the strongest city fortress in the entire duchy. The castle was the cornerstone of the city fortress, which was built at great expense, and survived all storms, including the fire of 1634, which otherwise destroyed almost the entire city. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgschloss_Schorndorf

A very impressive building.
