History+
The history of Neusteußlingen Castle dates back to the 12th century. Built as a castle around the year 1200, Duke Ludwig of Württemberg had the old Steusslingen Castle partially demolished in 1581 and Neusteußlingen Castle built in 1582 at the same location, but slightly to the south of it. This was a purely administrative building without a defensive function for the Lordship of Steußlingen. The castle was sold for demolition in 1812 and remained a ruin until the late 19th century. In 1897, the publisher Eugen Nübling from Ulm a. D. built a castle-like country estate with an agricultural business on the ruins of the predecessor castle from the late 16th century and the old castle and settled there permanently.
