Private property

The moated castle (also called Zobelschloss) in Giebelstadt, a market town in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg (Bavaria), was originally built in the 14th century. The moated castle at Mergentheimer Straße 2 is a protected architectural monument.

The two-story, four-wing complex with corner towers, built for the Barons Zobel zu Giebelstadt, dates back to the 14th century. After its destruction in the German Peasants' War in 1525, the complex was rebuilt by 1545. Further work took place between 1581 and 1585. Above the portal of the Renaissance-style gatehouse is a relief with the alliance coat of arms of Zobel/Truchseß, which is said to be by Jörg Riemenschneider.
