The name Hersberg is probably derived from the Old High German root word hari/heri for mountain range.[1] The first unsecured written reference is a mention of the brothers Berctoldus and Heinricus von Herisberg in 1276. What is certain is that in 1466 the Hersberg was in the fief of the Überlingen citizen and later Fürstenberg vassal Konrad Rudolf von Härsberg. In 1621 the Benedictines of the Ochsenhausen monastery bought the Hersberg from Härsberg's descendants. After secularization, the monastic property passed to Prince Franz Georg Karl von Metternich in 1803, father of the Austrian State Minister Prince von Metternich. Hersberg was then bought by the House of Württemberg[2] in 1806 and by Prince Konstantin zu Salm-Reifferscheidt in 1838. In an exchange with Waggershausen near Friedrichshafen, the Württemberg exclave of Herrschberg - the name of the territory around Hersberg Castle - became Baden in 1846. Franz zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck, the descendant of Constantine, sold the castle property on February 7, 1929 to the Pallottines (“Society of the Catholic Apostolate”), who ran the “St. Josef-Hersberg” maintained school operations.[3] In 1994 it was reopened as the Pallottine Spiritual House (Wikipedia).

This large evangelical monastery in Friedrichshafen is dominant and rather unusual for Catholic Upper Swabia.

With its two imposing cupola towers, which soar a proud 55 meters into the air, the castle church made of Rorschach sandstone is a real highlight. Built between 1695 and 1701, the interior impresses with its three-aisled pillared hall and stunning white stucco decoration. After being taken over by the evangelical church in 1812, the church suffered severe damage in an air raid in 1944, but was renovated from 1947 to 1951 and then returned to the evangelical community. Today the castle church is a well-known landmark of baroque construction in Upper Swabia.

Cultural monument of the state of Baden-Württemberg - visits possible

Whether from below or from above. The views of the castle or Lake Constance are simply wonderful.
