Ehemaliges Schloss, Schlossruine, von der 1814 abgerissenen Vierflügelanlage des 16. Jahrhunderts, stands in Weiltingen (Landkreis Ansbach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

What remains of Schloss Weiltingen today is an archaeological site rather than a standing building: the remnants of a former moated residence on the northwestern edge of Weiltingen, in Bavaria. The structure that once stood here was pulled down on the orders of the Kingdom of Bavaria by 1814, following centuries of changing noble owners and a period as a secondary seat of the House of Württemberg. Visitors can still make out the dry moat encircling the mound, the foundations of round corner towers, and part of the western bridge.

What to know

No building still stands here; the site consists of archaeological remains only (moat, foundations, bridge).
Part of the former castle mound is now built over by a farm.
The site is listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria.
No opening hours, admission fees or access conditions are published for this site.
