History+

The origins of Oberstaad Castle likely date back to around 1200, when it was constructed by the Lords of Hohenklingen. The palas was presumably built between 1230 and 1250. The first documented mention dates to 1446, when the castle passed from Albrecht von Klingenberg to Konrad Egli zu Herdern. In March 1499, the complex was damaged by fire during the Swabian War but was subsequently rebuilt. Between 1608 and 1609, the living quarters were renovated. After owners, including Muri Abbey and noble families such as von Kiebenfels, Rüpplin von Kefikon, and Meyer, Baron Karl Alexander Ifflinger von Granegg acquired the castle in 1793. The Ifflinger family already owned estates on Lake Constance.
