Description

The Ullstadt palace complex in Ullstadt , Markt Sugenheim in the Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district , was built in the 18th century according to plans by Johann Dientzenhofer and is now owned by the Barons von und zu Frankenstein .

Johann Peter von Franckenstein acquired the Ullstädter Schloss from the distressed family of the Barons von Seckendorff . From 1718 to 1725 a new moated castle, today's main castle, was built according to plans by Johann Dientzenhofer on the site of the old castle. The builder was the widow Margarethe von Franckenstein, nee by Eyb. Above the entrance door of the main castle is the family coat of arms of the von Franckensteins family with the symbols of those of Cleen (three combined clovers) and those of Sachsenhausen (a helmet) as well as the coat of arms of the Eyb family (three scallops). The two side wings, built by the master builder and architect Johann Jakob Michael Küchel , go back to the sons of Margarethes von Franckenstein, Johann Philipp Anton , Prince-Bishop of Bamberg, and Johann Philipp Ludwig Ignaz von Frankenstein , Canon of Würzburg, who built a summer residence here . Ferdinand Tietz , Bamberg court sculptor, made the plastic decorations and figures.

The main castle still serves as the home of the von Franckenstein family. After going through the front door you come to the reception hall. The individual living rooms and the house chapel are arranged around an inner courtyard. The blue room, the leather room and the mirror room are on the upper floor. All rooms have extensive wall and ceiling stucco showing the family coat of arms and stucco paintings. The side wings served partly as stables.

Of the six pillars at the castle entrance, the inner ones bear a crowned lion holding a prince-bishop's coat of arms. They stood at the entrance of the Reuther Tores in Forchheim until the fortress walls were razed (1875) . When the gate structures were dismantled, Baron von Franckenstein acquired the well-made sculptures for his Ullstadt castle. The other posts have trophy sculptures.
