Privately owned, currently not open to visitors! Bertoldsheim Palace is a Baroque two-story, three-winged complex with a three-story hipped roof. Bertoldsheim Palace is the only freestanding Baroque palace along the German stretch of the Danube. Until the end of the 16th century, a thick, square tower, to which a castle was attached, stood on the site of Bertoldsheim Palace, built between 1714 and 1730. The property, situated on the edge of a rocky, protruding hill – a southern spur of the Swabian-Franconian Jura – passed to the Barons von Hornstein in 1790. Adam Bernhard von Hornstein-Göffingen had some of the interior rooms embellished, redesigned the park, and planted a linden avenue in the palace park, some of which still exist or have been reforested. In 1880, the estate passed into the hands of the von Eckart family, who, through the descendants of Karl Leon Du Moulin-Eckart, owned the castle until 2008. In 2008, Dr. Erina Schumann-Späth and her husband Josef Späth purchased the then-vacant castle.

This historic building is small but beautiful.

"Historic castle ruins on the "Schlossberg" on the northern edge of the village of Graisbach (municipality of Marxheim). The castle was presumably built by the "Edle von Graisbach" as a ministerial castle for the Counts of Lechsgmünd. After the counts' ancestral seat in "Lechsgmünd" was destroyed by Regensburg merchants in 1248, the counts resettled in Graisbach. From then on, they called themselves Counts of Lechsgmünd-Graisbach. The castle was further expanded over the centuries, partially destroyed and rebuilt in the 15th century. In the 18th century, the castle was abandoned and used as a quarry. Stones from the castle were used as building material in the region, for example, for the Danube bridge in Neuburg. Today, only remnants of the castle complex (Pallas, keep, curtain wall, northwest tower, fountain market) can be visited. Of particular note is the well-preserved Romanesque castle chapel of St. Pankratius with its reliefs on the north portal and remnants of the historic wall paintings."
