To make a day of it

Neues Schloss Kißlegg stands in Kißlegg (Landkreis Ravensburg), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Neues Schloss Kißlegg stands on the site of an earlier half-timbered residence from the late 17th century, replaced from 1721 onward by the present building erected for Johann Ernst II of Waldburg-Trauchburg. Inside, a staircase decorated with eight sibyl figures by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer survives, along with period rooms bearing stucco work by Johannes Schütz and Francesco Solari and frescoes by Johann Gabriel Roth. The three-storey building, with two projecting wings under hipped roofs, now belongs to the municipality of Kißlegg, which houses a local museum, council chamber and community rooms there.
