Herblingen Castle, Medieval castle in Stetten, Switzerland.

Herblingen Castle is a castle in Stetten, in the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Its oldest part is likely the bergfried from the 13th century. From 1733, Johann Wilhelm Gestefeld rebuilt it into a palace, removing battlements, drawbridge and ring walls and filling in the moats, so it now has a palace-like character.

Herblingen Castle was probably built in the early 13th century by the lords of Herblingen, a family first mentioned in 1181 and extinct by the mid-15th century. In 1281 Konrad von Herblingen rebuilt the castle chapel. Around 1300 the castle was sold to the dukes of Austria, and in 1469 the Schaffhausen patrician Adam Cron bought it. The city of Schaffhausen acquired it in 1534, and from 1566 to 1733 it housed the Obervogtei Reiat. In 1733 the Vienna bank director Johann Wilhelm Gestefeld bought it and converted it into a palace.

The castle takes its name from the Herblingen family, first mentioned in 1181 with a Rüediger; the line died out in the mid-15th century. Although the castle stands on Stetten land, it gave its name to the small municipality of Herblingen, which was incorporated into Schaffhausen in 1964. In the 20th century the Schlosstaverne housed a restaurant and antiques shop known in the region.

The castle is privately owned and cannot be entered, so visiting means walking the public paths around Stetten to see it from the outside. The elevated position of the site makes it easy to spot from several points in the village.

The castle stands on the territory of Stetten but gave its name to the small municipality of Herblingen, which was incorporated into the city of Schaffhausen in 1964. The Herblingen family, first mentioned in 1181 with a Rüediger, died out in the mid-15th century.
