Schloss Falkenhausen, Baroque château in Gunzenhausen, Germany.

Schloss Falkenhausen is a Baroque château in Gunzenhausen with a stone façade featuring symmetrical windows, sculptural details, and ornamental elements across multiple stories. The building displays typical 18th-century craftsmanship with elaborate details throughout its structure.

Karl Friedrich von Zocha designed this Baroque château in the 18th century when architecture was flourishing in Bavaria. The building combines European Baroque elements with local traditions and reflects the artistic developments of that era.

The name Falkenhausen comes from the family of Elisabeth Wünsch, whose son was a Freiherr von Falkenhausen; Margrave Karl Wilhelm Friedrich bought the building in 1749 for her family. The castle has remained in private ownership of the Falkenhausen family to this day, so it is not open as a museum.

Schloss Falkenhausen stands in Wald, a district of Gunzenhausen in Middle Franconia. The sources record no opening times, guided tours or public access; the building has remained private property of the Falkenhausen family to this day. Visitors should therefore view the Baroque main house, the two single-storey pavilions and the 1732 garden wall from outside.

The interior is plain, with no ceiling frescoes; the decorative focus is outside, where two single-storey pavilions with hipped roofs and corner pilasters stand before the façade. The 1732 garden enclosure laid out by the von Zocha family, a barn, a stable and the 18th-century courtyard wall are also protected monuments.
