Glatt Castle

The Neuneck family held dominion from the 13th century until 1671. As early as 1286, Heinrich von Neuneck is mentioned as bailiff in Sulz, and from 1296, his son Ulrich von Neuneck is documented as a resident in Glatt. Hans von Neuneck purchased a share in the moated castle in 1496 from a relative, who then built a new residence. Between 1533 and 1540, under Reinhard von Neuneck, the medieval moated castle was transformed into a Renaissance castle, adapting elements of the Italian Renaissance. In 1688, the castle was extended and remodeled by the Landsee family, which included walling up the arcades. From the 18th century onwards, the castle belonged to the Prince-Abbots of Muri Monastery, before passing to the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen in 1803.
