Schloss Wartegg                  1557

Built in 1557, Wartegg Castle looks back on an impressive history, including a time when it served as a refuge for Zita, the last Empress of Austria. Today the castle is a contemporary holiday and business hotel in one. The 24 rooms are light an airy in design; the views of the expansive wooded grounds and garden, and across Lake Constance, are exceptional.

Meticulously restored historical building with an airy atmosphere. Built in 1557, the castle's long history as an aristocratic residence ended with Zita of Bourbon-Parma, the last Empress of Austria. Today, Schloss Wartegg blends an impressive past with a future-oriented concept. The contemporary hotel stands for a new tradition, ranging from the use of sustainable materials and natural fabrics throughout the building to the distinctive quality afforded by the light and restful color and illumination scheme.
