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

Schloss Hirrlingen stands in the village of Hirrlingen, in the Tübingen district of Baden-Württemberg. Built between 1557 and 1558 for Baron Georg VII von Ow, it is counted among the few rural Renaissance castles of Baden-Württemberg that have survived almost unaltered. The three-storey building, topped by a steep gabled roof, still carries a defensive look thanks to its two round corner towers pierced with loopholes. It now houses the municipal town hall.

What to know

The Schloss now serves as the town hall, so the interior is not open for tourist visits.
The exterior, courtyard and towers can be viewed from the public areas of the village.
An old castle pond remains on the village side, a remnant of the moat that once surrounded the building.
An epitaph to the builder Georg von Ow can be found in the nearby parish church of St. Martin.
