Zeil Castle

Also known as Schloss Zeil

Zeil Castle (Schloss Zeil) is a Renaissance castle on a hill near Leutkirch im Allgäu, in Upper Swabia, Germany. Built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries on the site of an older fortress, it is the seat of the princes of Waldburg-Zeil, one of the main branches of the House of Waldburg, who ruled the surrounding county until its mediatisation in 1806.
