In 1691, Land Commander Franz Benedikt von Baden acquired the Achberg estate for the Teutonic Order. In keeping with his noble status, he had the castle expanded between 1693 and 1700.

The old castle of the city, now the town hall.

Tettnang is a small town worth seeing with great historical buildings

Old Castle (Town Hall) Built in 1667 under Count Johann V by the Vorarlberg architect Michael Kuen. Converted into a town hall in 1904 After almost all of the town's houses and the castle were destroyed in the Thirty Years' War - the then Count Hugo took refuge with his family in the house at Montfortstrasse 37 after his return - his son Count Johann V built the simple castle in 1667. The architect was Michael Kuen from Vorarlberg. After the construction of the New Castle, the Old Castle served as the head forester's residence and office, as well as a storage hall for tithes and a drying hall for hops. In 1903, the town of Tettnang bought the Old Castle for 35,000 marks and converted it into a town hall in 1904/05.  From the Tettnang city tour

Beautiful building near the castle

A wonderfully prestigious building

Story. The castle was probably built at the beginning of the 12th century, in 1145 the Lords of Ratzenried were first mentioned. The reason for its construction was possibly the same as that of Praßberg Castle near Wangen in the Allgäu, which was begun in 1123. It was intended to secure the fiefs of the St. Gallen monastery in the region and collect the royalties from the courts. The lords of Ratzenried were also servants of the monastery. The Ratzenrieders died out at the end of the 13th century, but the new lords of the castle also called themselves von Ratzenried, they lost the castle again around 1350 and moved to the Ostallgäu. From 1353 the lords of Molpertshausen sat at the castle, in 1369 Hans von Molpertshausen was officially enfeoffed with the lordship by the St. Gallen abbot. About ten years later, the castle had to be sold again, among other owners it belonged to the Humpis of Ravensburg from 1453. They also called themselves Humpis von Ratzenried from the 16th century. Jos Humpis von Ratzenried had the castle restored in 1502 for 11,000 guilders, as it had collapsed down to the walls. They owned the castle until 1647. Razenried Castle was burned down by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War in 1632 and was not rebuilt for cost reasons. In 1806 the castle passed to the Kingdom of Bavaria, which ceded the Ratzenried dominion to Württemberg in 1810. The complex came from him in 1813 to the Counts of Beroldingen, and in 1908 the Counts of Waldburg-Zeil inherited the castle. Source: Wikipedia
