Schloss Gebsattel, Castle complex in Gebsattel, Germany
Schloss Gebsattel is a castle complex in Bavaria with a distinctive T-shaped main building that rises two stories high. The structure features onion-domed towers and a prominent two-story gatehouse that guards the entrance.
The castle was long controlled by Stift Comburg until secularization in 1806 ended this arrangement. A generation later, in 1901, the property passed into private hands where it remains today.
The chapel inside the castle honors Mary and reflects how important religious spaces were to those who lived there. The interior still shows traces of this spiritual meaning for the people who used it.
The castle remains in private ownership so visiting requires advance planning and respecting access restrictions. The location on Schlossstraße 15/17 in Gebsattel makes it easy to find if you want to view it from outside.
Hidden beneath the castle is a massive rectangular stone wall in the basement that may be the foundation of a medieval residential tower. This buried structure suggests that a much older fortification once stood at this location.
