Schloss Sindlingen, Water castle in Jettingen, Germany
Schloss Sindlingen is a water castle near Jettingen built as a moated fortress with a three-story corner section in half-timbered style. The structure occupies a landscape park setting where multiple wings form a courtyard arrangement characteristic of fortified manor houses from earlier centuries.
The castle began as a fortified water manor in the 15th century and underwent substantial reconstruction in 1782 under Franziska von Hohenheim. Later work deliberately altered portions of the complex to adapt the building for different uses.
The evangelical chapel, first documented in 1275, represents early religious architecture and received structural modifications during the 16th century.
The property operates as a holiday hotel and equestrian center with riding lessons available throughout the year. Visitors should note that access is primarily arranged through its function as a private accommodation and riding facility.
The property retains its original four-wing medieval layout despite deliberate removal of certain sections during 19th-century restructuring. This preservation choice shaped how the complex appears to visitors today.
