Today's Fugger Castle, with its castle gardens, is the remaining vestige of a once much larger castle complex and is located in the heart of the village of Nordendorf. The complex became the seat of power for the Fugger-Nordendorf line of the Fugger family in the 16th century and shaped the village's history for centuries. After a fire in the 1860s, the former upper castle was largely demolished. Parts of the west wing, including the tower and chapel, as well as the gatehouse of the south wing, have been preserved. In the castle park, a Renaissance fountain with a coat of arms commemorates the site's aristocratic past. Today, the castle is privately owned and not open to the public, but its historical significance as a landmark of the village is clearly visible from the outside. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuggerschloss_Nordendorf

It's strictly private, so forget about shuffling in there.

The castle today dates back to the Middle Ages. The fortified farm was first mentioned in 1329. The residential tower, in which the chapel was established in 1868, still bears witness to this period. More on the history: https://www.schloss-nordendorf.de/index.php/geschichte

Markt Castle: The remains of Markt Castle rise above the Markt district, on a ridge that slopes down on three sides. The castle was first documented in the 14th century, but the oldest surviving parts of the building date back to 1525, when the Fugger family had it rebuilt as a palace.

The castle chapel of St. John the Baptist is located on the grounds of Burg Markt, a district of Biberbach in the Swabian district of Augsburg, Bavaria. The chapel was built between 1738 and 1739 according to plans by the master builder Simon Rothmiller from Höchstädt on behalf of Joseph Maria Fugger. It is an important example of the late Baroque period and is characterized by its artistic furnishings. Architecture and furnishings: • The chapel has magnificent stucco work and frescoes created by the artists Johannes Finsterwalder, Josef Höchstetter and Johann Georg Wolcker. • Particularly noteworthy are the wooden reliefs, which are believed to be by Daniel Mauch. • The interior impresses with its harmonious design and the use of high-quality materials. History: • The castle chapel originally served as a private place of worship for the Fugger family. • Over the centuries it has been restored several times to preserve its original splendor. • Today the chapel is a listed building and is an important example of Baroque sacred architecture in the region.

Markt Castle, also known as Fugger Castle, is located above the town of Markt, a district of Biberbach in the Swabian district of Augsburg, Bavaria. The hilltop castle on a spur probably dates back to the 14th century and consists of the rear (eastern) castle around the keep and the front (western) castle with the Onoldsbach tower. History: • The castle originally belonged to the Rechbergers and later the Pappenheimers. • In 1508 Jakob Fugger acquired the castle together with the Biberbach lordship and had it rebuilt as a castle in 1525. • The keep, the walls and the Onoldsbach tower have been preserved. Complex: • The castle includes the Catholic castle chapel of St. John the Baptist from 1738 to 1739, designed by Simon Rothmiller, as well as the former chaplain's house and some farm buildings from the 19th century. • The western part is used as a riding stable. • The keep was renovated in 2013. Current use: The Markt Castle is privately owned and is partly used for agricultural purposes.
