Schloss Schwindegg, Renaissance water castle in Schwindegg, Germany

The castle forms a rectangular complex with four octagonal corner towers and a gate tower, surrounded by a water moat in central Bavaria.

Built between 1594 and 1620 on medieval foundations, the castle belonged to Sebastian von Haunsperg and later passed to Duke Albrecht of Bavaria.

The Renaissance architecture of the castle reflects the transition from defensive structures to residential palaces, with decorative elements and simple window openings.

The castle remains in private ownership since 1956 and visitors can only view the exterior from designated paths around the surrounding parkland.

The castle includes preserved forecourt buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries and maintains its original water moat system from the Renaissance period.
