Schloss Horn, Baroque castle in Göggingen, Germany

Schloss Horn is a rectangular castle in Göggingen standing on a rocky hilltop between the Lein and Federbach rivers. The structure features a mansard roof and nine window axes across its facade.

Burg Horn was held around 1350 by the lords of Ahelfingen; by 1464 Melchior von Horckheim is recorded as owner, and through marriages the estate passed to Franz Wolf Reichlin von Meldegg around 1668. In 1746 the heirs sold it to Rupert Franz Xaver von Schwarzach, who worked with Balthasar Neumann on buildings for the prince-provostry of Ellwangen. He and his brother Franz Christoph Benedict had the present castle built in 1760 on the medieval site; from 1789 it belonged to the counts of Beroldingen, who sold it in 1954.

The main entrance displays coats of arms representing aristocratic alliances, while the attached chapel shows Rococo decorative details from the 18th century. This interior adornment reflects the importance of the residence as an aristocratic seat.

The castle remains in private ownership and is not open to visitors. Water damage has affected various parts of the structure, and substantial restoration work is needed throughout.

The enfilade runs the full length of the beletage, the upper main floor, not the ground floor. The building is a two-storey rectangle of nine by five window axes under a mansard hipped roof, with a balcony and a gable bearing the Schwarzach/von Hohenfeld alliance coat of arms above the entrance.
