Schloss Gailenbach stands in Gersthofen (Landkreis Augsburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Gailenbach stands in Edenbergen, a hamlet of Gersthofen in Bavaria, built from 1592 onward for Zacharias Geizkofler, a leading financial official of the Holy Roman Empire. The two storey building, topped with stepped gables, retains a 16th century core despite alterations carried out in 1816/17 and again in 1955/56. A round arched gateway links the main house to the adjoining farm estate, the whole set within a landscaped park. The property is today privately owned.

What to know

  • The castle is privately owned, which limits or prevents access to the interior.
  • The yellow facade, green shutters and round arched gateway can be seen from around the park grounds.
  • The estate also includes a former farm building, once home to a Franciscan convent until the early 1980s.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are known, so a visit mainly means viewing it from outside.
  • The site is listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria, which does not imply public access.
