The striking coat of arms above the passage in the long castle belongs to the owners at the end of the 18th century. On the heraldic right - "male" side, i.e. on the left as seen from the viewer, the two silver tips with silver roses on blue, which form the coat of arms of Joseph Karl Freiherr von Rehlingen (1732-1795). On the heraldic left, "female" side, the coat of arms of the family of origin of his wife Franziska (1741-1816), who was born Countess von Welsberg-Primör. The couple married in 1776.
The castle grounds are privately owned and not open to the public.

There are actually two castles that are surrounded by a common park. The elongated building of the "Long Castle" was the older castle structure and was originally designed as a moated castle. It by no means housed the castle's extensive farm wing, which, according to an old depiction, was opposite the long castle outside the castle walls. The eye-catching high castle was probably built by Anton Fugger in the 1580s next to the existing castle. Both buildings were then redesigned to their present appearance over the centuries.

Hainhofen Castle is located in the Hainhofen district of the town of Neusäß in the Augsburg district of Bavaria. The property consists of two main buildings: the baroque high castle, a four-story hipped roof building that was built in 1730, and the classicist long castle, which was built between 1760 and 1780 by the von Rehlingen family. The castle originally served as the seat of various patrician families, including the Fuggers and the von Rehlingens. Today it is privately owned and has been extensively restored. In 2013, the owners received the Swabia District Monument Prize for this exemplary renovation.

The castle is picturesquely located on the western edge of the town in the Schmutter lowlands and is a protected architectural monument. Although it is not open to the public, it remains an important testimony to regional history and architectural development in Swabia.

Near the castle is the Catholic parish church of St. Stephanus, which was built in 1718/19 by Johann Holzapfel. This church is also worth a visit and complements the historical ensemble of Hainhofen.

For hikers and nature lovers, the area around the castle offers attractive routes that include the Schmuttertal and the Lohwald. A highlight is certainly the castle in Hainhofen, which was built in 1582 by Anton Fugger.
