Hohes Schloss

Hohes Schloss (1291 – 1503): the extensive late-gothic fortified castle was, for centuries, the summer residence of the Prince Bishops of Augsburg, who were also the Lords of Füssen. The magnificently coloured trompe-l’oeil paintings on the courtyard walls and the gallery in the north wing with pictures belonging to the Bavarian State Collections are well worth visiting and include works of art from the late gothic and baroque periods as well as painters of the 19th century Munich School (including Spitzweg and Pocci). The drop tower and clock tower (above the gallery) offer the most beautiful views over the old town. Opening times: April to October, Tue – Sun 11.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m. November to March, Fri – Sun 1.00 p.m. – 4.00 p.m., Copyright Füssen Tourismus und Marketing/www.guenterstandl.de
