Rapperzell Castle

Rapperzell Castle is a listed building in Schiltberg in the Swabian district of Aichach-Friedberg in Bavaria.

The pond in front of the building is probably the remains of a moat around a medieval moated castle, presumably the preceding stately home. In 1567, a Hofmark seat was mentioned here. The current building was constructed between 1690 and 1698 under the Hofmark lord Dominikus Carl von Widmann. In 1838, the castle was acquired by Duke Max in Bavaria together with an estate and the brewery in Kühbach, the castle in Unterwittelsbach and the Hofmark in Motzenhofen. In 1862, Duke Max sold the castle to Baron Joseph Anton von Beck, whose family still owns it today. From 1906 to 1953, the building was used as a schoolhouse. After several renovations, it is now used again for residential purposes.
