Schloss Jettenhofen

Freystadt, Germany, Germany

Schloss Jettenhofen is a historic moated castle in the Freystadt district of Jettenhofen, Bavaria, with origins dating back to at least the 13th century.

Historical records from 1245 and 1248 mention the castle as the seat of Heinrich von Uttenhofen, and it remained an important noble estate for centuries under several influential families, including the Schenken von Geyern and the von Hirnheim family. The current residential castle building was constructed in 1562 by the von Hirnheim family.

After their line ended in 1585, the property returned to the Bishopric of Eichstätt and later served as an administrative center for the prince-bishopric. Today, parts of the former castle complex, including the 16th-century residence and remnants of its moat and enclosure, still survive and are protected as historical monuments. The site remains a notable reminder of the region’s medieval and early modern history.
