Ballmertshofen Castle, Medieval castle in Dischingen, Germany.
The castle stands on a terrace in the lower Egautal valley at 469 meters above sea level, near the southern edge of Härtsfeld region.
First mentioned in 1139 as Baltrameshoven, the castle changed ownership from the Counts of Dillingen to the Thurn and Taxis family in 1749.
The building served multiple functions throughout centuries, including as a residence, village school, and town hall after its sale to the community in 1876.
The castle underwent extensive exterior renovation works in 1989, preserving its structural integrity for future generations.
Located near the Buchmühlquelltopf karst spring, the castle overlooks three historical mills: Hannesmühle, Rappenmühle, and Buchmühle.
