Nestled in Kleinheubach, Bavaria, Germany, Schloss Löwenstein is a historic château with a story as grand as its architecture.
Some people settle for a simple renovation. Not Prince Dominik Marquard zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort. When he acquired Kleinheubach in 1721, he inherited a castle, but instead of renovating it, he dreamed bigger.
Inspired by the grandeur and symmetry of Versailles, he commissioned architect Louis Rémy de la Fosse to create an entirely new Baroque residence. Having previously worked in Hanover for the future King George I of Great Britain, de la Fosse designed a striking three-winged palace with a formal courtyard and lavish interiors. Construction began in 1721, with the château completed in 1732.
Its story didn’t end there. After the Second World War, parts of the estate became a training centre for the German Postal Service and later Telekom. Today, Schloss Löwenstein has been reimagined as an exceptional venue for gatherings.
Still closely connected to the Löwenstein family, the château brings together three centuries of history, French-inspired elegance and modern hospitality, proving that some castles are made to evolve with the times.
