Schloss Ummendorf stands in Ummendorf, in the Landkreis Biberach, in Baden-Württemberg. This Renaissance building was erected in the 16th century for Matthias Manlich, a wealthy merchant and imperial councillor from Augsburg who sought to assert his social standing among the rural nobility through the construction of the house.
