Sulzheim Castle

The origin of Sulzheim Castle was formed by a castle-like estate, which was owned by the Würzburg Cathedral Chapter. In 1134, the village of Sulzheim, along with eleven other villages, was given as a gift to the newly founded Ebrach Abbey.

Under Abbot Wilhelm Söllner, it was decided to demolish the estate, which had become dilapidated. Around 1700, the tithe barn was built by the first castle architect Johann Dientzenhofer. In 1728, Sulzheim Castle was completed as a three-winged complex with a central pavilion. The very important architects Balthasar Neumann and Joseph Greising were most likely involved in its 12-year construction period.
