Stetten Castle

The origins of Stettener Schlösschen date back to the late Gothic period. After its destruction in the Thirty Years' War, with only the basement and the lower part of the once round tower remaining, it was rebuilt in the 17th century in the Renaissance style. This transition of architectural styles is visible in the wall offsets. The Lords of Stein and later the Lords of Schönau, servants of the Säckingen Convent, were the early inhabitants in its current form. After 1727, the Meieramt was administered directly by the convent. The building stood empty for a long time and fell into disrepair, with even the spire falling off in 1930.
