Burg Gießen, Medieval castle in Kressbronn am Bodensee, Germany.
The castle features an irregular hexagonal ring wall with round towers and a Gothic residential section with stepped gables measuring 80 by 110 meters.
Built before 1250, the fortress underwent major reconstruction between 1482 and 1486, with additional fortifications and a moat supplied by a canal from Laimnau.
The castle complex functions as a venue for small cultural gatherings, including readings, concerts, and conferences, maintaining its connection to local heritage.
Access to Burg Gießen requires advance registration for group visits, as the property remains under private ownership and serves as a residential space.
The entrance tower contains five distinct chambers and a terrace, restored through a four-year preservation project that saved the structure from collapse.
