The moated castle Fessenbach is a former free aristocratic seat in place of an abandoned moated castle and later a court estate in the northwest of Fessenbach (Im Ries), a current district of Offenburg in the Ortenaukreis in Baden-Württemberg .

The castle mentioned in 1245 was probably built by the Lords of Riese. As further owners of the property, u. a. Konrad von Riese, Lords of Ortenberg, von Mollenkopf, named the Benedictine monastery Gegenbach in 1684 and the von Seebach family in the 19th century. Today's Rieshof shows a single-storey, elongated building with a hipped roof .
