Description

Schloss Stetten is the official place name of the ancestral castle of the Barons of Stetten and of the adjoining hamlet. Today they are a district of the district town of Künzelsau in the Hohenlohekreis in Baden-Württemberg.

The castle complex belongs to the Baron-Wolfgang-Stetten Stiftung and consists of a shield-wall castle and the Baroque palace built in the year 1716 and completely renovated by Christian Freiherr von Stetten in the years 2018 and 2019. It is considered one of the best-preserved castles from the Hohenstaufen period.

The complex is inhabited to this day by the family that built it, but belongs to the foundation's grounds.
