Schloss Offenstetten, Medieval castle in Offenstetten, Germany

The castle features a square layout with four three-story wings and corner towers topped by onion domes surrounding an inner courtyard.

First documented in the 11th century, the castle belonged to the Lords of Offenstetten for over 400 years until their line ended in 1480.

The baroque renovation in 1921 added a grand staircase and several halls while preserving 18th-century stucco decorations in multiple rooms.

The castle now functions as the Cabrini Center, providing specialized education and support for children and young people with special needs.

Napoleon Bonaparte made a brief visit to the castle on April 20, 1809, followed by Bavarian King Max II in July 1852.
