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

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.

Thank you very much for the information.

Beautiful tower here in Markt

Now there is a sign in front of the castle 👍

The Markt Castle is also called the Fugger Castle. The spur castle above the Schmutter on the edge of the Lech Valley probably dates back to the 14th century and was first centrally owned by the Rechbergers, then the Pappenheimers. The castle was acquired in 1508 together with the Biberbach lordship by Jakob Fugger and rebuilt as a palace in 1525. The keep, the wall and the Onoldsbach Tower have been preserved.[1] The complex also includes the Catholic castle chapel of St. John the Baptist from 1738 to 1739 by Simon Rothmiller with a former chaplain's house and some farm buildings from the 19th century.

A very beautiful castle that is privately owned 😊
