Serach Castle

Serach Castle at Schlösslesweg 39 was built in 1820 by the then district judge Karl August Georgii as a normal house. In 1828, Count Alexander von Württemberg bought the estate and had the old palace extended in 1834. In the new salon, he received poets such as Justinus Kerner, Hermann Kurz, Nikolaus Lenau, Emma Niendorf, Ludwig Uhland, and Gustav Schwab. It is adorned with ceiling paintings by Julius Lettenmayer. In 1853, Serach Castle was bought by Prince Felix von Hohenlohe-Öhringen, who further expanded it. As he had overextended himself financially, he had to sell it to the Öhringer Bank in 1864. The palace is now privately owned. The interiors are not available for viewing.
