Schloss Duttenstein.

Schloss Duttenstein is a Renaissance hunting castle (German: Jagdschloss) located near the village of Demmingen, which is part of the town of Dischingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

The first castle on this site was built between 1200 and 1374, perhaps for the

Fugger family.[2] It passed through several owners before the Princely House of Thurn and Taxis acquired the castle. In 1817, Karl Alexander, 5th Prince of Thurn and Taxis donated 504 hectares for a nature park. The nature park is today home to deer, wild pigs and about 50 other species.[3]
The park is open to the public during daylight hours, but the castle is owned by Bernd Schottdorf, a physician who operates medical laboratories.
