The castle Hilzingen , including tower called one's Outbound castle in the corridor Tower Garden, 100 meters southeast of the parish church of St. Peter and Paul of Hilzingen in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

The castle was one of several successively built noble residences in the village and was built in the 13th or 14th century, in 1380 a "tower" was first mentioned. The complex was probably a tower castle or a residential tower . The aristocratic seat was destroyed in the course of the city war, when troops from the Swabian cities attacked Hilzingen in 1441 and destroyed Hans von Rechberg's property there and his tower. In 1447 only one “ court rite on the broken tower ” was mentioned.

No visible remains of the small castle have survived today, probably part of the castle grounds were built over in the 1970s when the school was expanded.
