Schloss Kilchberg, Medieval castle in Tübingen, Germany
The castle features an octagonal moat surrounding a late Gothic stone residence with a tower, chapel, barns, and administrative buildings.
The Staufer dynasty constructed the initial fortress with an octagonal wall in the 12th century, with the tower remaining to present day.
Georg von Ehingen, founder of Tübingen University, transformed the fortress into a castle by building a Gothic stone house on old foundations.
The German Institute for Disaster Medicine operates in the New Castle, while the Orangerie remains available for event rentals.
The castle maintains its rare octagonal moat design, making it one of the few structures worldwide with this architectural feature.
