Schloss Johannisberg, located in Geisenheim-Johannisberg, Germany, holds significant historical importance. Originally founded as a Benedictine abbey in 817 AD, it transitioned into a secular castle following its dissolution during the Napoleonic Wars in 1803. Throughout its history, the Schloss has been closely linked with the production of Riesling wine; it is considered the birthplace of Spätlese – late harvest – wine due to a delayed harvest in 1775 attributed to the Archbishop’s reluctance to order its commencement. The castle’s architecture reflects various periods including Romanesque and Gothic elements alongside later Baroque additions.
