Schloss Hegne stands in Allensbach (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Schloss Hegne stands on the shore of Lake Constance, near the village of Hegne in the municipality of Allensbach. Probably built in the 16th century on the remains of an earlier structure, it served as a summer residence for the bishops of Constance before being substantially remodelled in the Neo-Renaissance style at the end of the 19th century. It is now part of a convent complex run by the Sisters of Charity of the Holy Cross, who use it as a novitiate.
