Very beautiful castle walls with lots of stork nests and a huge clattering noise.

Private castle with a striking silhouette. Historic aristocratic estate in the heart of the Lone Valley with a long regional history.

The Margrave's Palace is a three-winged palace complex located in the center of Günzburg, featuring architectural elements from various periods. The Italian architect Alberto Lucchese oversaw the palace's reconstruction from 1577 to 1586 for Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol, costing 132,000 guilders. The palace remains the only surviving Habsburg residence in Germany and represents centuries of Austrian influence in Bavaria. The south wing of the palace houses a local history museum, while other areas serve as offices for the tax administration. Restoration work, completed in 2022, revitalized the facade of the south wing and preserved historical features while adapting it to modern requirements.

Settlement on the castle grounds dates back to the Bronze Age. An older hillfort, in which the Reisensburg Castle stands, was first mentioned in the 10th century as Castello Risinesburc. The stone castle, first indirectly mentioned in 1266 by Bruno nobilis de Risenspurch, an imperial ministerial, controlled a river crossing. In 1295, the Reisensburg Castle came into the possession of the Margraves of Burgau, but after their extinction in 1301, it fell to the Habsburgs, who pawned it thereafter. In 1457, it passed as a fief to the knight Hans vom Stain of Ronsberg, and from him to his grandson Melchior, who expanded the Reisensburg lordship. In 1633, the Swedes set fire to the castle, which at that time belonged to the Tanner von Tann family. The Giel von Gielsberg family followed in 1660, and the Barons von Eyb in 1763. They sold the Reisensburg Castle to the Barons von Riedheim in 1852. After a change of ownership in 1920, the University of Ulm acquired the castle in 1966. Since then, the Reisensburg has housed a meeting and conference center, which was transferred to a foundation of the University of Ulm in 1997.

A predecessor of the castle was built in 1452. Around 1577-1586, a new building was constructed for Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol by the Italian architect Alberto Lucchese. Several town houses had to be bought for this. The names of the sellers have been preserved: Kaspar Kündig, Hans Gering and Jakob Böringer. The construction of the castle cost a total of 132,000 guilders. The neighboring lords asked the Innsbruck court chamber for free building materials "in honor of His Serene Highness". All the construction workers' invoices have been preserved. The castle complex forms a monumental focal point in the urban structure in the southwest corner of the city, which is complemented in the northwest by another dominant accent in the form of the pre-baroque complex of the former Franciscan monastery and its church. From 1609 to 1618, the city became the residence of Margrave Karl von Burgau, a strict Catholic and son of Ferdinand II in Tyrol, governor of Upper Austria. Karl and his wife Sybille had no children, so Günzburg fell back to the main Habsburg line. Both were buried in the Capuchin monastery founded by Karl in 1616. Severely damaged in a fire in 1703, the castle was rebuilt in the Baroque style by the master builder Valerian Brenner. In 1769/70, the castle was renovated by Joseph Dossenberger the Younger.

The Margrave Castle of Günzburg, together with the former court church of Ss. Trinitatis and today's town hall, forms a monumental focal point in the urban structure of the Bavarian town of Günzburg. The castle is the only Habsburg residence that is located in Germany today. The building is now largely used as a tax office. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markgrafenschloss_Guenzburg
