Schloss Grünenfurt
Schloss Grünenfurt stands in Memmingen’s Grünenfurt district, surrounded by an English landscape garden. A Renaissance bridge and round tower lead towards the three-storey Rococo manor house with its mansard roof.
Johann von Scheidlin built the present castle between 1737 and 1738 on the site of an earlier estate. Sixteenth- or seventeenth-century economic buildings remain beside the courtyard, while two wooden garden pavilions date from the eighteenth century. Inside, the Blue Hall carries a stucco ceiling with shells, leaf volutes, vases and putti representing the four seasons.
The sandstone plaque above the southern portal bears the Scheidlin coat of arms and the year 1734. A summer linden tree in the southern garden is protected as a natural monument, and the former portrait collection includes works depicting Memmingen’s patrician families.
