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.
