Schloss Kattenhorn, Medieval château in Öhningen, Germany.

The château stands on the Höri peninsula near Lake Constance, featuring a stone construction with architectural elements from different historical periods.

First mentioned in 1391 as Burg Kattenhorn, the fortress received recognition from Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, who confirmed its possession to Öhningen Abbey in 1166.

The St. Blasius Chapel, integrated into the castle walls, maintains regular religious services and contains a statue that connects to regional religious traditions.

The structure underwent modifications in the 19th century when Johann Heinrich Im Thurn removed the water moats and tower to accommodate agricultural activities.

Local narratives tell of the St. Blasius statue washing ashore at Kattenhorn after being thrown into Lake Constance during the 16th-century iconoclasm in Mammern.
