Tettnang Castle is a stunning Baroque residence that once served as the seat of the Counts of Montfort. Set in the charming town of Tettnang, about 15 km from Friedrichshafen, the palace boasts lavishly decorated state rooms with frescoes, stucco work, and period furniture. The castle museum showcases the history of the Montfort dynasty and the region's hop-growing heritage. Surrounding the palace are formal Baroque gardens with geometric flower beds, hedges, and a tranquil pond, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The castle also hosts cultural events and concerts in its grand halls. Visitors can explore the opulent interiors, climb the tower for views over the town and Lake Constance, and learn about the noble family that shaped the area.
