Germany · 16th century
Schloss Eichtersheim, formerly also Schloß Eichtersheim is a manor house situated in Eichtersheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The manor was first built in the sixteenth century when it served as a private home. It is entirely surrounded by a moat. A sandstone bridge leads to the main entrance. The manor is surrounded by simplistic gardens that are almost wood-like.
The manor was purchased by the town of Angelbachtal from the last private owner of the manor in the 1980s.
Since then the manor has undergone both interior and exterior restoration. Since the purchase by the town of Angelbachtal vast parts of Schloss Rheydt have been converted into office space as the manor now accommodates the townhall.
