Overview
Rotes Schloss Jagsthausen is a historic castle in Jagsthausen in the Heilbronn district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, which today operates as a hospitality brand under the ownership of the von Berlichingen family. The castle was built between approximately 1572 and 1590 by Hans Reinhard von Berlichingen, a member of a side line of the von Berlichingen family, on the site of the former Roman fort of Jagsthausen and in the immediate vicinity of the family's ancestral seat, the Götzenburg. Interior wall paintings from the time of construction survive, while the building was extended in the 18th century with a facade and a mansard roof facing the village. In the late 19th century it housed the Berlichingen rent office and the apartment of the rent master. Today the castle is home to a restaurant, a country inn (Landgasthaus), a castle beer garden (Schlossbiergarten), and event and catering services. The business is run by the brothers Gottfried and Hans-Sigmund von Berlichingen, who continue a family tradition spanning more than 17 generations. The brand positions itself around four values: traditional, open, passionate and authentic. It offers a castle kitchen ranging from hearty rustic to exclusive dishes, hosts weddings, company parties and birthdays, and provides catering and event locations. A separate estate, Landgut Halsberg, is available for weddings and special events. The restaurant also runs seasonal promotions such as mushroom weeks and hosts beer tastings in cooperation with the Herbsthäuser brewery. The Rotes Schloss is a private, family-owned enterprise and does not trade on any stock exchange.
