Château d'Einartzhausen stands in Phalsbourg (Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 16th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Phalsbourg, the Einartzhausen castle was built from 1560 as a country residence for Count Palatine Georges-Jean de Veldenz, the founder of the town. Later absorbed into Vauban's fortifications, the building went through several uses, from military storage to a youth hostel. Visitors today can see reconstructed rooms and a carved coat of arms of the count and his wife, once set above a fireplace.
