Schloss Benzenhofen stands near Berg, in the Landkreis Ravensburg, in Baden-Württemberg. Built between 1898 and 1901 for Otto Benze, who styled himself Benze von Benzenhofen, the building follows the neo-Tudor taste favoured by a bourgeoisie eager to appear aristocratic. Its history combines a short-lived fortune, a collection of old paintings, financial ruin, and a later stay by Franz von Papen, who wrote his memoirs there around 1950.
