      Tauck Exclusive – Evening at Schloss Ehreshoven

      Enjoy an elegant dinner and tour at Schloss Ehreshoven

      Built in the 14th century and later expanded in the grand style of a Baroque manor house, Schloss Ehreshoven is surrounded by gracious 18th-century French gardens and a castle park. For nearly a century the castle has been the heart of a charitable foundation whose main mission includes providing a home for unmarried aristocratic ladies without means in their golden years.
