Schloss Waldsee

Bad Waldsee, Germany, Germany

---

Schloss Waldsee is a Renaissance water castle in the spa town of Bad Waldsee, in the Ravensburg district of Baden‑Württemberg, southern Germany.

Built in the mid‑16th century as a Wasserschloss, with its main building almost entirely surrounded by the Schlosssee, it was later expanded and baroque‑style remodeled in the 18th century with additions such as a chapel wing and stately courtyards. The castle sits just steps from the town center, across the water from the more public Stadtsee, and has long been the ancestral property of the princely House of Waldburg‑Wolfegg‑Waldsee, remaining in their ownership today. 

Since the late 1980s, when the princely family stopped living there full time, Schloss Waldsee has been used commercially, with its upper floors divided into rentable units and various rooms and outdoor spaces available for events such as weddings, family celebrations, and company functions, while still retaining its historic appearance and moat‑like setting in the heart of the town.
