There is documented evidence of winegrowing in Meersburg since 1324. The historic buildings from the early 18th century and the vineyards were owned by the Prince-Bishops of Constance until 1802/1803. During secularization, the winery fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became the first wine-growing domain in Germany as the Grand Ducal Baden Domain Winery. After the First World War, in 1919, it was renamed Meersburg State Winery. As the legal successor to the state of Baden, the state winery now belongs to the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Impressive building on the vineyard

The Meersburg State Winery towers above vineyards.

From the lower town you have a good view of Meersburg from several places.

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.
