Schloss Gondelsheim stands in Gondelsheim (Landkreis Karlsruhe), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Schloss Gondelsheim stands on the site of a medieval Burg destroyed during the Peasants' War and later in the Thirty Years' War. The building seen today dates from 1857, commissioned by Count Ludwig Wilhelm August von Langenstein und Gondelsheim from architect Georg Jakob Schneider, in a Scottish-inspired neo-Gothic style. Further wings in the Art Nouveau style were added in 1906. The castle park contains a nymph fountain installed in 2003, a replica of a work by Walter Schott, of which only four other copies exist worldwide.
