The Schloss Gessenberg stands in a hamlet that forms part of the municipality of Waging am See, in Bavaria, encircled by a moated ring dating back to the Middle Ages. Built in the 17th century over older foundations and reworked in a historicizing style in 1887, the building rises three storeys under a half-hip roof, with corner turrets topped by onion domes and shutters painted red and white.
