How many 800mm Railway Guns did Germany build in WW2?

I’ve been looking around for a while and I can’t find two sources that agree on anything, I’ve already posted in the ask subreddits. Hoping someone can point me in the direction of any useful information!

At least two, because there were two different guns destroyed and their wreckage found. A test model was built, but wasn't used in the war, as far as I know.

Have you got a source that confirms the wreckage of two seperate weapons was found? When you say two different guns do you mean independent artillery pieces or just different barrels?
