Schloss Tiengen stands in Waldshut-Tiengen, in the Landkreis Waldshut, Baden-Württemberg, on a site that once held a Roman watchtower and later a fortified seat of the lords of Krenkingen. The present building dates from a complete reconstruction in 1650, carried out after fire had destroyed the castle during the Thirty Years' War.
