Stadtschloss Treuchtlingen stands in Treuchtlingen (Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Stadtschloss Treuchtlingen stands in the town centre, on the site of a former moated fortification that the lords of Pappenheim turned into a Renaissance residence. It was here, in 1594, that Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim was born, the cavalry general of the Thirty Years' War later immortalised by Schiller in Wallensteins Tod. The building forms a four-wing complex around an inner courtyard, with surviving stucco ceilings, historic tiled stoves and remnants of the old fortified walls. A statue of the general stands in the former moat, beside a stone cross he had erected in 1620.

What to know

  • The palace today houses the Aurnhammer collection and a museum dedicated to passementerie, both open to visitors.
  • It also hosts the town's tourist information office along with the Altmühltal and Geopark Ries visitor centres.
  • The Renaissance inner courtyard and remaining fortified walls can be seen while walking around the building.
  • A statue of Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim and a cast of his 1620 stone cross stand in the adjacent town park, while the original cross is kept inside the Schloss.
