History

Built in the 16th century on the foundation of a castle dating back to 1374, Schloss Duttenstein thrones above its large wildlife park. Following a long history of different owners, including the Fugger and Thurn and Taxis dynasties, the castle has undergone extensive restoration over the past two years. Today it is an exclusive retreat combining historic elegance with the luxury of modern comfort and privacy.

Main hall

At the heart of the former hunting castle, the glass-covered renaissance courtyard offers a large and adaptable space for a variety of uses. Festive banquets, family brunches, receptions, concerts, and other large gatherings all come to life in this unique and versatile setting.

The surrounding galleries lead to the ensuite bedrooms, living rooms, and state rooms adding to the open atmosphere of the castle. Adjoining the hall you will find a billiard room, wine cellar, and large kitchen, as well as a terrace with views overlooking the park.

Kitchen

The castle’s kitchen right next to the covered courtyard is perfect for cooking together, cooking courses with experts, or watching the chef prepare your food.

The island and furnishings are made out of local oak from the estate’s forest, reflecting the regional and specially tailored cuisine offered at Schloss Duttenstein.

State rooms

Following restorations lasting over one year, the 18th-century frescoes in the state rooms were restored to their former glory. The historic color palette of these rooms served as inspiration for the rest of the estate’s renovations and can be found throughout the castle.

The larger state room seats up to 20 people at a table but can be rearranged for larger groups and seating options. Business meetings and festive dinners find the perfect setting in the room, with extensive views over the estate.

The adjacent smaller state room, or living room, offers a more relaxed atmosphere by the sofas and the fireplace.

The castle offers up to 11 double ensuite rooms, in which historic charm meets modern comfort. Each of our rooms boasts a unique character, distinct from the next, assuring no two experiences are the same.
