Schloss Eberstall

Jettingen-Scheppach, Germany

---

Schloss Eberstall is a historic castle located in Eberstall, part of Jettingen-Scheppach in Bavaria, Germany.

It was first mentioned in 1268 and was originally under the control of the noble family of Edelfreien von Eberstall, who lost the castle to Bavarian Duke Ludwig the Strict in 1268. The current castle structure was built in 1602 by the Herren vom Stain, who were imperial knights. Ownership changed to the Freiherren (later Counts) Schenck von Stauffenberg between 1716 and 1730, and it remained in their possession until 1983.

The castle underwent significant renovation after it was sold in 1983, preserving its historical architecture. The estate included stables and gardens, and it served various purposes over the centuries, including housing archives and functioning as residence for the castle chaplain. The castle grounds were also home to a riding club for several decades before the property changed hands again.
