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

Directly in the courtyard of the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas.

The hall church, built in 1731/32 on behalf of the Holzen Monastery, consists of a nave with two protruding risalits on each of its long sides, a recessed choir to the east, flanked by sacristies on both sides, and a church tower built in 1714 according to plans by Christian Wiedemann on the east wall of the choir.

This is St. George's Church in Westendorf. The establishment of the Westendorf parish dates back to the 7th century, but the construction of an oratory or chapel in honor of St. Mary and St. Gertrude by Bishop Embriko von Leiningen (1063 to 1070) is not documented until 1070. In its early days, the parish's fiefdom was initially held by the Truchsessen von Kühlenthal, but passed to the Bishopric of Augsburg in 1361. From this time until secularization in 1803, the prefects of Kühlental served as the bishopric's administrators or bailiffs.

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

It rolls along a paved forest/cycle path through the fields, free of car traffic. Except for the tractors, which we happily yield to.

Good place
