Weikersheim Castle is the traditional seat of the princely family of Hohenlohe. The building that we see today was built during the time of Wolfgang II, who had traveled to Austria, France and England and there acquired a fine taste for the latest architecture. In 1605 the building was completed. It is built in the late renaissance style, but also hints at the coming baroque. The gardens were made by Wolfgangs grandson, Siegfried, a hundred years later.
