      Castles and Palaces

Mosbach is situated on the southern foothills of the Odenwald and is the cultural and economic centre of the Neckar-Odenwald region.

After 1645 the facility decayed more and more. Today's buildings rose primarily in the year 1898 under the owner at that time, merchant Montigel, who built a picturesque dwelling instead of the Old Palace.
