Leutkirch - Schloss Zeil - 03

The castle was built to replace the previous castle built in 1123 and to demonstrate the power and prestige of the noble family. Since 1337 it has been owned by the counts and stewards of Waldburg, who were later made princes. The castle was never damaged by war or sieges and has been completely preserved and restored as an ensemble. Inside, the richly decorated rooms convey a clear picture of aristocratic living culture.
