St. Andrésches Schlösschen

Bad Friedrichshall, Germany, Germany

---

St. Andrésches Schlösschen is an elegant manor house in the Kochendorf district of Bad Friedrichshall, Baden-Württemberg.

Built in 1710 by the noble Saint-André family on the site of an earlier residence, it served as the seat of local aristocrats and remains an important example of early 18th-century architecture. Over the centuries, the building passed through several owners, including the Ritterkanton Odenwald and the Bachert bell foundry, which operated nearby from the 19th century onward.

Despite changes in use and surrounding development, the historic structure was preserved. Since acquiring the property in 1983, the city of Bad Friedrichshall has restored and maintained the Schlösschen as a cultural monument. Notable features include its historic staircase, decorative interiors, and the coat of arms above the entrance, making it one of the town’s most distinctive heritage buildings.
