Kellereischloss

Description

Kellereischloss is a palace in Hammelburg, Bavaria. The Baroque style palace was be translated as 'Wine Cellar Castle'. Kellereischloss was designed and built between 1726 and 1731 by Andrea Gallasini [de] (1681-1766), architect to the court of Adolphus von Dalberg, Prince-Abbot of Fulda. The site had been a wine cellar, and the seat of a tax collector, since 1279. The Prince-Abbot now desired a summer residence. It seems to have been to his satisfaction; for, in 1737, he died there.

The giant cellars under Kellereischloss could, at the high point of wine production in Hammelburg at the end of the 18th century, store 101 wine barrels with a total capacity of more than 700,000 litres.
