Lindich Castle

The building was constructed in the Rococo style. The floor plan of the two-story building is square. It is topped by a mansard roof with a lantern, which is crowned by a vase.

A small portico with two columns is located in front of the main facade of the building. The high entrance hall with its round arches and the spacious staircase served for representation. The carefully crafted coffered floors are well preserved.

The park was oriented star-shaped towards the castle. The paths radiating towards the building are still clearly visible.

Six low houses, namely from right to left: a former orangery, a former cavalier house, a former gardener's house (today a restaurant), two stables (which were converted into residential houses) and a kitchen house, each with mansard roofs, were arranged in a semicircle around the castle. They served to accommodate the court. Here, court employees, high officials, couriers, or guests found their place.

In 1946/1947, the pharmaceutical botanist Karl Hummel from the University of Tübingen, with the support of the state and members of the university's faculty, established and directed the university-independent Princess Eugénie Institute for Medicinal Plant Research of the Society for Scientific and Christian Education e.V. at Lindich Castle until 1976.

The institute served as a research facility for doctoral students and possessed a large medicinal plant garden as well as several pharmacognostic and history of science collections. In the so-called Lindich Talks, humanities scholars and natural scientists exchanged their experiences and shared their findings.

The buildings cannot be visited as they are privately used. The castle itself contains several apartments. The houses standing in an unfinished semicircle are privately owned, and one of them houses a restaurant.
