The new castle was built in 1712 by Christoph Gessinger. It was the residence of the Count of Montfort up to 1720. In 1753 it burnt down and was rebuilt by Jakob Emele in 1755.

Built in 1720 as single-storey guardhouses (architecturally also called “Kavaliershäuser”), they came into private ownership and another storey was added to the houses in the 19th century.

Instead of the summer house, which had burnt down in 1735, the “shooting house” was built along the western part of the wall of the castle garden. It was opened 15 October 1736.

According to the plans of the royal district forestry office Ravensburg, the forester’s lodge was built as an office and official residence.

It is the only preserved late baroque residence in Tettnang from the time of the Montfort dynasty.

Built by Michael Kuen, who was a master builder from Vorarlberg, during the time of Count Johann X . of Montfort-Tettnang
