Schloss Gaienhofen, Lowland castle in Gaienhofen, Germany.

The castle stands near Lake Constance, featuring nine towers and incorporating both medieval fortification elements and baroque architectural modifications.

Originally constructed as a hunting residence for Bishop Gebhard III of Zähringen, the castle received its first documented mention in 1295.

Between 1946 and 2013, the castle functioned as a Protestant boarding school for girls, contributing to regional educational development.
