Hansenberg Castle

Hansenberg Castle can look back on a long and eventful history. It was built on the grounds of a vineyard on the Hansenberg by the local senior school councilor Johannes de Laspée, who was a student of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. De Laspée had planned an orphanage combined with a Pestalozzi school. However, after its completion in 1824 and Laspée's death in 1825, the building was not used for its intended purpose. It was sold and for a long time primarily used privately. Under changing owners, it served, among other things, as a residence, vineyard, and restaurant with a hotel. Several alterations and extensions were made.
The Federal Republic of Germany acquired the site after the Second World War.
