Schloss Gaienhofen – Evangelische Internatsschule am Bodensee, Educational château in Gaienhofen, Germany
The castle stands on the Höri peninsula at Lake Constance, featuring eight towers and baroque architectural elements from its 1700 renovation.
Originally built in 1110 as a hunting property for Bishop Gebhard III of Zähringen, the castle received its first documented mention in 1295.
The Protestant boarding school established in 1946 provides education that combines traditional academic subjects with Christian values and multicultural perspectives.
The castle and its adjacent shoreline areas remain closed to public access, but the building serves multiple educational functions within its premises.
During the Council of Constance from 1414 to 1418, the castle hosted a feast where Conrad von Reischach's son Michael met a tragic end.
