Château, Medieval château in Bischofszell, Switzerland.

Schloss Bischofszell stands inside the town walls in the south-western corner of Bischofszell, protected to the south and west by steep slopes. Its ground floor shows forms pointing to construction in the 13th or early 14th century, while the upper floor probably comes from a rebuilding around 1500. Old views still show the tower demolished in 1843.

The castle's ground floor dates from the 13th or early 14th century, while the upper storey probably comes from a rebuild around 1500. It was the residence of the bishop of Constance's governor, who presided over the town council and criminal court and held jurisdiction over the Schönenberg district. After the bishop's rule ended in 1798, the castle passed into private ownership.

The castle was the residence of the bishop of Constance's Obervogt, who was protector of the secular choir monastery of St. Pelagius, presided over the town council and criminal court, and held the bishop's jurisdiction over the Schönenberg district. A tapestry of 1500 in the Basel Historical Museum shows the oldest known view of the castle.

The castle stands inside the town walls in the south-western corner of Bischofszell, protected on the south and west by steep slopes. The tower demolished in 1843 no longer stands, so the surviving building is approached from the town side. The ground floor dates from the 13th or early 14th century, the upper floor from a rebuild around 1500.

The oldest known view of the castle is a pictorial tapestry of 1500, kept in the Historical Museum in Basel. It shows the castle as it appeared around that time, before the tower was demolished in 1843.
