Great view of Heiligenberg Castle and the surrounding area of Lake Constance. When the weather conditions are good, you can see a wonderful Alpine panorama.

Mainau Castle Baroque jewel in the middle of the island The architectural centerpiece is Mainau Castle, the Teutonic Order castle. It was built between 1739 and 1746 according to the plans of Johann Caspar Bagnato and he also supervised the construction. Despite limited financial resources, an architecturally extremely balanced and symmetrical palace complex was created that exudes great harmony. The two side wings open in a horseshoe shape towards the mainland, while the wide side faces Lake Constance. The building consists of a base on which two floors rise. The coats of arms of the Grand Master Clemens August of Bavaria, the Land Commander Philipp von Froberg and the Mainau Commander Friedrich von Baden can be seen particularly magnificently on the west gable. The east gable facing the lake bears the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order. The upper floors can be reached via simple staircases in the side wings. The heart of the castle is the former audience hall, the so-called “White Hall” decorated in white and gold, which only received its current appearance in 1883. It is only open to the public during concerts or special events. The lower area of the castle is open to visitors. Exhibitions regularly take place here in the historic coat of arms hall.

Wonderfully located up high with a great view of Lake Constance... Fantastically beautiful at sunset ☀️👍

With children at the playground on the gently sloping pebble beach - very nice, trees on the square and water jet fountain with rivulets - great for the whole family 👍

Beautiful castle with a great view of Lake Constance.

The Deutschordenschloss was built from 739 to 1746 according to the designs of Johann Caspar Bagnato and under his supervision. Despite limited finances, an architecturally highly balanced, symmetrical palace complex of great harmony was created. The arms of the two side wings open towards the mainland in the shape of a horseshoe. In contrast, the wide side faces the lake. The building rests on a plinth over which two floors rise. Magnificent on the west gable: the coats of arms of the Grand Master Clemens August von Bayern, the Land Commander Philipp von Froberg and the Mainau Commander Friedrich von Baden. The east gable on the sea side bears the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order. In his design, Bagnato dispenses with a magnificent representative staircase based on the Würzburg model. The upper floors can be reached via simple staircases in the side wings. The heart of the castle is the former audience hall, the so-called "White Hall", which is kept in white and gold and only got its current appearance in 1883. It is only open to the public for concerts or special events. The Coat of Arms Hall, the central room in the basement of the original Corps de Logis, is also open to the public for changing exhibitions. In addition, the rooms of the castle café in the transition to the palm house. With their clear architectural language, the castle and church form a magnificent, harmonious ensemble - they are a unique example of southern German baroque.

Those who spend their holidays on Lake Constance should definitely visit the island of Mainau. The island is a feast for the eyes in terms of floral diversity. But the butterfly house and the monstrous sequoias are also a feast for the eyes and offer countless photo perspectives.

Castle and church form a beautiful, harmonious ensemble in the midst of the dreamlike parks.
