Schloss Hochaltingen stands in Fremdingen (Landkreis Donau-Ries), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Hochaltingen stands at the heart of the village of Hochaltingen, part of the municipality of Fremdingen, in the northern Ries region. Built in 1551 on the site of a medieval stronghold once held by the lords of Hörnheim, the present building dates from the Renaissance. It now houses a care home for elderly residents run by the Teutonic Order, which means it functions as an inhabited institution rather than a sight open to casual tourism.

  • No visiting hours or admission fees are published, access is in practice limited to the surroundings and the village.
