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

The Schloss Sulzburg stands at the southern edge of Sulzburg's old town, right on the market square, where the former margravial residence survives as its hall wing and stable wing. Construction began in 1527 for Margrave Ernst I of Baden-Durlach, and the complex was substantially enlarged around 1600 under Georg Friedrich before suffering severe damage during the Thirty Years' War and a fire in the winter of 1677-1678. What remains today, a late Renaissance building marked by a carved figure of a wild man on its facade, now houses an art auction house.

What to know

Only part of the former residence survives, the hall wing and the stable wing, forming a T-shaped complex on the market square.
The main building today houses an art auction house, which affects access to the interior.
The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany.
No verified information is available on opening hours, prices or visit duration, so it is worth checking directly with the current operator.
The building stands at the heart of the small town of Sulzburg, in the Markgräflerland region, easy to find from the central square with its octagonal fountain of 1747.
