 The castle of Amerdingen, as it has always been referred to by the locals, was first built around 1500. Toady’s castle was built between 1784 and 1788 after a fire caused by a badly attended fireplace in 1780 destroyed the old building, built in in the  2nd part of the 16th century.
Thankfully, the Castle remained intact during the world war II (although the little boys of some Nazi-Officials who occupied the house tried their very best by shooting onto the Lyon silk tapestry dating of the 18th century…), that way we can enjoy the countless beauties of bygone days, baroque chandeliers, original prints dating anno 1770, beautiful china that once crowned the festive table during family reunions.
The whole interior is maintained with a lot of love for history and tradition by Count Alfred Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and his wife, Myrta.
Amerdingen itself is a small village with about 550 very friendly people. The village is located in the “Kesseltal”, a landscape which invites the tourists to relax actively by hiking or biking.
  
 A number of interesting castles, chateaux and churches, some of them dating back to Roman times, can be visited in this region called Bayerisch-Schwaben. (www.bayerisch-schwaben.de/start.htm)
Amerdingen is situated between Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart. This area belonged to Schwaben till the early 19th century, when Napoléon reorganised the Germany Countries and put this part of Schwaben to Bavaria.
