Schloss Illerfeld

Schloss Illerfeld stands on a slight rise beside the Iller River in Illerfeld, a hamlet near Memmingen in Upper Swabia. Sigmund von Lupine built the manor in 1784, giving its two-storey main building a hipped roof and mostly rectangular windows.

Single-storey wings joined the residence between 1820 and 1830, while farm buildings and a park broaden the estate. Inside, the southwest room preserves remnants of an organ wing from St. Martin’s Church in Memmingen, with further fragments set into the stairwell ceiling and upper corridor. An oak handrail with Empire motifs follows the stairs, and two-storey stoves combine cast-iron lower sections with terracotta vases above.

A sandstone gateway carries coats of arms and inscriptions, opening towards parks divided by State Road 2009. About 250 metres south, a sculpture replica stands in the outer garden, while an obelisk rises 800 metres away on a hill. Between them, a tulip-tree avenue planted by Friedrich von Lupine in the early nineteenth century stretches through a small park.
