Ennsegg Castle

Description

Ennsegg castle was built originally around the year 900. In the end of the 15th century it was so dilapidated that the Emperor Frederick III decided to build a new one. This imperial residence stood only for 100 years. Already in 1565 it was rebuilt again. The next expansion was made in the mid-1600s.

Todau Ennsegg castle has two courtyards separated by a longitudinal wing. In the arcades are Roman finds from Lauriacum (Lorch). The castle chapel dates back to the second half of the 17th century. It was installed in a defensive tower. It is richly decorated with stucco decoration. The altar was erected around 1800.
