Schloss Mochental, Renaissance castle near Ehingen, Germany.
The castle stands on elevated ground above the Danube River in the Kirchener Valley, eight kilometers west of Ehingen at the southern edge of Swabian Alps.
In 1192, Count Ulrich I von Berg donated the castle and its chapel to Zwiefalten Monastery, which subsequently used Mochental as its administrative center.
The Nikolaus Chapel contains paintings from 1734 by church artist Franz Josef Spiegler depicting scenes from Saint Nicholas's life through detailed frescoes.
The art gallery inside Schloss Mochental opens Wednesday through Saturday from 1 PM to 5 PM, and Sundays with holidays from 11 AM to 5 PM.
The castle structure features exactly 365 windows, corresponding to the number of days in a year, following its reconstruction by brothers Joseph and Martin Schneider.
