Vierflügelanlage, Medieval architectural monument in Dinkelsbühl, Germany

The Deutschordensschloss Dinkelsbühl is a four-wing complex around an inner courtyard, built from 1709 onward. The east main wing has three storeys and a central risalit with a pavilion roof and entrance portal on both the outer and courtyard sides. The older north wing has a gable dormer and a courtyard portal with an external staircase; the west wing has only one projecting upper storey.

A Teutonic Order bailiff is first recorded in Dinkelsbühl in 1317; around 1350 he sat in the Rothenburger Vorstadt. In 1390 the Landkomtur of the Ballei Franken bought a plot in the Segringer Vorstadt and built the order's seat there, later an Obervogteiamt. The dilapidated late medieval building was demolished in 1709 and replaced by the present castle, begun to plans by Wilhelm Heinrich Behringer; Matthias Binder added the other three wings from 1761 to 1764.

The name refers to the Teutonic Order, whose Franconian bailiwick bought this plot in the Segringer suburb in 1390 and ran an upper bailiff's office here. The house chapel was installed in the north wing in 1760/61, under the gable dormer; the east wing's central risalit with pavilion roof marks the entrance front.

The castle stands in the Segringer Vorstadt in the southwest of Dinkelsbühl's old town, at coordinates 49.06712, 10.31864. The east wing carries the main portal beneath a pavilion roof, while the north wing's courtyard portal is reached by an outdoor staircase. The west wing has only one projecting upper storey, so the courtyard is overlooked by three-storey wings on the other sides.

The north wing was built first, from 1709, to designs by Wilhelm Heinrich Behringer; the other three wings followed only in 1761–1764 under the Order's architect Matthias Binder of Ellingen. A chapel was fitted into the north wing's upper storey in 1760/61, beneath its gable dormer.
