Schloss Schweinspoint

Marxheim, Germany, Germany

---

Schloss Schweinspoint is a historic castle located in the village of Schweinspoint, part of the municipality of Marxheim in Bavaria, Germany. The present building was constructed in the 17th century after an earlier castle on the site was partially destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. For many years, the castle was owned by the noble Hacke family, who took the name “Hacke auf Schweinspoint” from the estate. In 1860, the complex was acquired by the Brothers Hospitallers, who converted it into a care facility for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Today, Schloss Schweinspoint is part of the Stiftung St. Johannes, a major social care organization operated by Caritas. The four-winged castle complex, which includes a historic church and former farm buildings, remains an important landmark and community institution in the Donau-Ries region.
