Schloss Pichl

En un regard

Le château en bref

In the hamlet of Pichl, part of Aindling (Landkreis Aichach-Friedberg, Bavarian Swabia), Schloss Pichl is a moated castle lined by the Schloßallee. Already shown around 1560 on Philipp Apian's Bavarian maps, it was heavily destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt in the mid-18th century. The von Schaezler family owned it until 1980. From 1979 to 2011 it housed a therapy centre for drug addicts run by the association Condrobs. After standing empty for more than two years, it was bought in 2014 by the Augsburg entrepreneur Georg Brandl, who has opened it to new uses; the castle and its pond are today a destination for walkers.
