The castle Allensbach is an Outbound castle in the district of the village Allensbach in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Wuerttemberg . The castle, the exact location of which in Allensbach is not known, was probably the seat of the Lords of Allensbach named in 1240. The complex, which was probably built as a tower castle , was first mentioned in a document in 1351. In 1502 it was the dwelling of a bailiff named Federlin, after whom it was also called Vederlins thurn .

Nothing remains of the castle today. Another castle complex could have been located outside the village , a castle field was mentioned in 1468, and a castle hill in 1544 .
