Schloss Wasserburg stands in Wasserburg (Landkreis Lindau), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Schloss Wasserburg stands at the tip of a small peninsula on Lake Constance, in the Landkreis Lindau, Bavaria. Built in the 16th century by the Counts of Montfort on the remains of an older stronghold, it forms a tight cluster with St George's church and the former Malhaus courthouse on a spit of land that juts into the lake. Visitors mainly come for the setting itself: the castle's exterior, the views across to Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein, and the atmosphere of a peninsula village only linked to the mainland since the 18th century.

What to know

The castle sits on a peninsula linked to the shore by an embankment built in 1720, and is best explored on foot.
The surroundings, St George's church and the nearby Malhaus can be visited freely, but no reliable information is available here on access to the Schloss interior.
A jetty on the peninsula serves boats to Lindau, Bregenz, Konstanz and Rorschach, making it easy to combine the stop with a lake trip.
No opening hours or admission fees are documented for this site, so it is worth checking locally before planning a visit.
The site suits a short stroll, with the main appeal being the lakeside setting and views across to neighbouring shores.
