A castle with a chapel was built as early as the 13th century. In the following centuries, the castle was expanded and, at the end of the 16th century, converted into a Renaissance palace. A very beautiful palace, well worth a visit!

The Art Nouveau church in Gaggstatt is an impressive example of functional-poetic church architecture: aesthetic, symbolic, and spiritually thoughtful. A true gem, its architecture and art invite inner peace and spiritual reflection. The church was built between 1904 and 1905 according to plans by the renowned architect Theodor Fischer, who was personally recommended by King Wilhelm II of Württemberg. It is a hall church made of shell limestone quarry stone combined with sandstone decorations. The twin-towered façade features round towers, beneath whose conical roofs lies a bridge housing the bells. A central arcade design of the galleries and a wood-beamed ceiling characterize the interior. The gallery balustrades are artfully painted in shades of blue and bear biblical inscriptions. For example, the biblical quotation "Blessed are those who hear God's word and keep it" is adorned above the organ loft. The pulpit stands in the center, elevated by stone. It is based on a relief band bearing the inscription "One thing is needed!" and is flanked by figures: Jesus in a gesture of blessing and Mary of Bethany. The organ loft itself features an Art Nouveau relief scene: the Nativity, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the Resurrection of Christ. Two boy sculptures at the main portal (lyre on the left, violin on the right) carry banners bearing the hymns "Hallelujah – sing to the Lord" and "Give thanks to Him, praise His name." A face of Christ is emblazoned above the portal. The organ itself dates from 1905 and was built by the Friedrich Goll company.
