The castle Sammletshofen is an Outbound lowland castle southwest of Sammletshofen, a modern district of the municipality Meckenbeuren in Bodenseekreis in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

Presumably the castle was built in the 13th century by the lords of Sammletshofen named in 1270, who were ministerials of the diocese of Constance . In 1448 the brothers Heinrich and Wilhelm von Arnsberg from Ital d. Ä. and Jos Humpis the castle. In the 16th century the castle was abandoned and fell into disrepair.

Nothing has survived from the former castle on an oval castle hill with a diameter of about 13 meters, which was once surrounded by a moat .
