Isny - Schloss Isny

The town of Isny is located thirty kilometres north-east of Lindau.

Schloss Isny is the home of the King's sister, the Princess of Quadt zu Wykradt und Isny. Part of the castle is now used as a museum of the works of Friedrich Hechelmann and is open to the public (Tuesday - Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; entrance fee 5 euros).

I believe that the castle is located north of the town, on Schloss Strasse.
