Schloss Eglingen, Renaissance château in Dischingen, Germany

The two-story administration building stands as part of the former fortified castle complex at the southwestern edge of Dischingen-Eglingen.

The castle complex, first mentioned in 1283, featured two ring walls, three solid gates, and two drawbridges until its main structure demolition in 1810.

The building served as residence for the lords of Eglingen, who were ministerials to the Counts of Oettingen before the Princes of Thurn and Taxis acquired it.

The château maintains private status, requiring visitors to observe posted signs and respect the current inhabitants while exploring the surrounding grounds.

The administration building represents the sole remaining structure of what was once an extensive Renaissance castle complex in the Heidenheim district.
