Entenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Schliengen, Germany.

The stone castle stands in the center of Schliengen, encircled by a deep water-filled moat with black and yellow striped shutters marking its presence.

The first recorded structure at this location dates to 821 with Walter of Schliengen, while the castle gained prominence under Rudolf von Üsenberg between 1207 and 1231.

The castle's name combines the German words 'Ente' for duck and 'Stein' for stone, reflecting the connection between the structure and its water features.

Since 1975, the castle functions as Schliengen's city hall, accommodating municipal offices and administrative services for the local community.

The castle's defense system includes warning shutters painted in black and yellow stripes to alert visitors about the presence of the surrounding moat.
