The Fugger and Neuffen castles have been part of Weißenhorn's history for centuries. The older castle, today usually called Neuffen Castle or the Old Castle, was built around 1470 under Jörg von Rechberg on the castle hill. Right next to it, Jakob Fugger had the impressive New Castle built in 1514, reflecting the growing influence of the Augsburg trading dynasty. Later, the two buildings were connected by a link to form a single complex. Today, the town hall is located here.

Beautiful castle of Weißenhorn Now the city administration is in it

In 1498 the area became part of the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut, but was sold to the Fuggers in 1507. The Counts Fugger von Kirchberg still have their seat today in the castle built in 1767 by Franz Anton Bagnato.

It's the Neuffen Castle

The classicistic Wain Castle was built in the 18th century and is now home to the "Freiherr von Herman’s Rent and Forestry Office". The sophisticated and very representative building is not far from the Iller in the town of Wain of the same name. There was also a castle called Wain, which is no longer preserved.

Nice castle, unfortunately cannot be visited.

Today the Fugger Castle houses the municipality of Weißenhorn

Medieval castle that used to be the absolute hotspot of the hiking and mountaineering elite. For example, Reinhold Messner used to be a permanent guest here.
