Schloss Ehingen stands in Ehingen (Alb-Donau-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ehingen town palace vanished more than three centuries ago, and no structure remains to be visited: the site is now covered by the buildings of Ehingen's Benedictine college. Built by the counts of Berg-Schelklingen, who founded the town, it later housed the pledge-holders and governors of the lordships of Ehingen, Schelklingen and Berg. A repair record from 1568/69 lists a long series of rooms, suggesting a residence of considerable size and comfort. Nothing of the former palace can be seen above ground today.

What to know

The palace was torn down and nothing remains above ground; the site is now occupied by Ehingen's Benedictine college buildings.
This is not a visitable monument but a historical location that no longer exists physically.
Demolition took place by 1698 at the latest, after Kloster Zwiefalten purchased the grounds in 1692.
There are no opening hours, fees or access details since no building survives to visit.
