Wasserschloss Gebelkofen

The palace features three stories with a rectangular inner courtyard, surrounded by a water-filled moat and contains the St. Barbara chapel in its north wing.

First mentioned in 1200, the castle suffered damages during the Thirty Years' War and underwent reconstruction in 1750 following its complete destruction in the 17th century.

The two-story St. Barbara chapel, located on the ground floor of the north wing, represents medieval religious architecture integrated into German noble residences.

The palace remains in private ownership by the Lerchenfelder family since 1553, requiring visitors to respect residential privacy and observe posted access guidelines.

The entrance features two gate pillars with saddle roofs dating from the 18th century, marking the transition between medieval fortification and modern residential architecture.
