Wasserburg - Schloss Wasserburg


Wasserburg (literally: a castle in the water) was the property of the monastery of St. Gallen in 784, at which time it lay on an island. Traces of a repelled attack of Hungarian troops between 925 and 955 were found during recent excavations. Until 1280, the Lords of Kisslegg, as ministers of the monastery, ruled Wasserburg, then the rule went to the Lords of Schellenberg. In 1720 the island became a peninsula when it was linked to the mainland by a causeway. In 1750 the castle´s west wing burned down - and never got completely rebuilt.
In 1755, the Fuggers, who owned it meanwhile, gave up sovereignty over Wasserburg to the Habsburgs in settlement of some debts, so the town then formed part of Austria. In 1806 Napoleon Bonaparte transferred its sovereignty to the kingdom of Bavaria.
The castle "Wasserburg" still exists and hosts a very comfortable hotel. Seen here is a side entrance into the hotel.
