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

The Wasserburg Grüningen stands in the Landkreis Biberach, in Baden-Württemberg, and has remained in the hands of the same family, the von Hornstein, since the early 14th century. Much of the present building dates from the late Middle Ages, though the remains of a Hohenstaufen-era keep, with its distinctive rusticated stonework, survive over two storeys on the eastern side. Damaged during the Thirty Years' War, the castle was rebuilt in 1686, when a half-timbered upper floor was added. The grounds also include outbuildings and the former patronage church of St Blaise.
