Can you visit the inside of the Altes Schloss in Tettnang?

The building functions as the town hall, so access is limited to public areas such as the entrance hall and staircase.

What is the origin of the Altes Schloss?

It was built from 1667 for Count Johann X of Montfort, on the site of an earlier residence destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.

What is the chapel in front of the building?

It is St George's Chapel, built in 1682 on the presumed site of the former castle chapel.

Why was the castle replaced by another building?

Its modest size did not match the dynastic standing of the Counts of Montfort, so the Neues Schloss was built between 1712 and 1728.
