Leinzell Castle
Leinzell Castle in the municipality of Leinzell in Baden-Württemberg was built around 1650 by the Lang family on the ruins of a fortification destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The castle remained in the possession of the Lang family even after their loss of power and was only sold in 1990 by Baroness Brigitte von Lang.
Since 2004, the castle has belonged to the art collector couple Silvia and Helmut Wickleder. They founded a foundation that supports exhibitions of young artists in the castle. In 2009, the castle was renovated externally.
