In the 19th century, a comprehensive redesign was carried out by the architect Jean Keller, who also designed the magnificent grand hall.

Originally a moated castle, a rectangular structure built under Anton Fugger, individual sections of the walls are medieval, the core dates from the end of the 16th century, renovated around 1730, and remodeled in the last quarter of the 18th century.

Wolfgang von Paler the Elder was granted sheep in 1550. He commissioned the construction of a new palace around 1550/60. The building was presumably destroyed by the Swedes in 1648. The new owner, Raimund Egger, had the palace rebuilt.

Hainhofen Castle is located in the Hainhofen district of the town of Neusäß in the Augsburg district of Bavaria. The property consists of two main buildings: the baroque high castle, a four-story hipped roof building that was built in 1730, and the classicist long castle, which was built between 1760 and 1780 by the von Rehlingen family. The castle originally served as the seat of various patrician families, including the Fuggers and the von Rehlingens. Today it is privately owned and has been extensively restored. In 2013, the owners received the Swabia District Monument Prize for this exemplary renovation. The castle is picturesquely located on the western edge of the town in the Schmutter lowlands and is a protected architectural monument. Although it is not open to the public, it remains an important testimony to regional history and architectural development in Swabia. Near the castle is the Catholic parish church of St. Stephanus, which was built in 1718/19 by Johann Holzapfel. This church is also worth a visit and complements the historical ensemble of Hainhofen. For hikers and nature lovers, the area around the castle offers attractive routes that include the Schmuttertal and the Lohwald. A highlight is certainly the castle in Hainhofen, which was built in 1582 by Anton Fugger.

Hammel Castle is located in the Hammel district of the town of Neusäß in the Augsburg district, Bavaria. The castle is owned by the von Stetten family. History: • 1550: Wolfgang von Paler the Elder is granted Hammel and initiates the construction of the new castle around 1550/60. • 1648: The building is probably destroyed by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War. • After 1648: The new owner, Raimund Egger, has the castle rebuilt. • 1700: Through marriage, two thirds of the castle becomes the property of the Augsburg patrician family von Stetten; later the family also acquires the remaining share. • Mid-19th century: Extensive renovation work is carried out. • 1891: Under the planning of the Augsburg architect Jean Keller, the east-west wing is extended and the facade structure is renewed and the south gable is decorated with neo-Gothic battlements. Architecture: The castle consists of two three-story wings. The shorter "old building" has a gable roof and a facade structure with neo-Gothic battlements. The surrounding wall is equipped with four defensive towers, including the so-called Malakow Tower on the southeast corner, which was provided with a balustrade and an arbor-like structure made of wood in 1856. Current use: Hammel Castle is still owned by the von Stetten family and is not open to the public. However, the historic complex is an important cultural monument in the region and an example of the architecture and history of Augsburg's patrician families.
