Schloss Gündelhart

En un regard

Le château en bref

Gündelhart Castle (Schloss Gündelhart, Gündelharterstrasse 17, Hörhausen, municipality of Homburg, Thurgau) was built in 1645–1646 for the judicial lordship of Gündelhart, which had been separated from that of Liebenfels in 1572. From 1622 to 1798, the lower jurisdiction and the castle were mostly held by the Uri family von Beroldingen. The building was constructed under Wolfgang Friedrich von Beroldingen and remained in the family until 1871. It then passed to several owners, including, in 1900, the agricultural pioneer Ludwig Engler, and was extended in 1871, 1872, 1908, 1926 and, above all, in 1946. Restored between 1987 and 1992 with the addition of an annexe, it enjoys legally binding protection and serves as a private residence. The ISOS inventory lists the ‘Schloss, 1646’ within the castle estate, in this small, isolated church hamlet.
