The Bettendorfsches Schloss stands in Gissigheim, a district of Königheim, in the Main-Tauber-Kreis. Built in the 16th century and enlarged between 1726 and 1727 by the Tyrolean master builder Christian Schneller, this baroque building once served as the residence of the barons von Bettendorf before passing into municipal ownership. Its two-storey façade still bears the family's coat of arms, a silver ring on a red field, which later became the village emblem. The building long housed the local school and town hall, and its attic holds a small local history museum.
