Schloss Dürrwangen, Medieval castle in Dürrwangen, Germany.

The elongated three-story castle features semicircular arches and pilasters framing its central axis on the eastern edge of Dürrwangen.

First mentioned as castrum Durnwang in 1256, the current structure was constructed between 1720 and 1740 after damages from the Thirty Years' War.

The castle served as an administrative seat for the Counts of Oettingen-Spielberg and later functioned as a forestry office until 1995.

Located at Hauptstraße 3, the castle contains preserved elements including a round tower, fortification walls, and traces of an ancient water moat.

The remaining medieval round tower stands as a testament to the original defensive structure, making it the oldest building in Dürrwangen.
