Le château en bref
Schloss Hubberg stands in the Thurgau village of Fruthwilen, in the municipality of Salenstein.
The castle was first mentioned in 1377. From 1399 the estate belonged to the Collegiate Foundation of St John in Konstanz. In 1580 it was bought by the nobleman Gabriel Reichlin von Meldegg, under whom it received the status of a Freisitz and was now called “Huebberg”. After several changes of ownership, the castle was sold in 1799 to farmers from Fruthwilen. Since then the building has remained in farming ownership and has been occupied by several families. After the Second World War, Hans Leip rented a home in the Hubberg for twenty years. A wall painting by him still exists on the 2nd floor.
The double residential house, whose interior was baroqueised at the beginning of the 18th century, consists of two roughly equal halves with large round-arched portals. It has two storeys of solid masonry and one half-timbered storey.
