The Castle of Taxis, originally known as the Castle of Trugenhofen (in German Burg Trugenhofen), is a privately owned castle in Dischingen in the district of Heidenheim in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. The castle is owned by the princely house of Thurn und Taxis and is open to visitors. History
Originally built in the 13th century for the von Trugenhofen family, the castle was later owned by the Öttingern, Helfenstein and Katzenstein families. In 1734 it was inherited by the princely house of Thurn and Taxis. The family extended the medieval castle (Burg) into a palatial castle (Schloss). In addition to expanding the original buildings, English gardens and terraces were added.
