Schloss Marbach stands in Öhningen (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 13th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Marbach stands on the Höri peninsula, overlooking the Untersee, an arm of Lake Constance, in Öhningen. The building seen today, more a 19th century mansion than a medieval stronghold, replaced a fortress first recorded in 1291 that burned down repeatedly over the centuries. Its present name and appearance date from renovations carried out by a French count who bought the estate in the 19th century. Rebuilt again after a fire in 1924, the structure now functions as a conference centre.
