Altes Schloss Wehr stands in Wehr (Landkreis Waldshut), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Altes Schloss Wehr stands in the town centre of Wehr, in Baden-Württemberg. Built between 1570 and 1574 by Hans Jakob and Hans Rudolf von Schönau, it took over as the family's residence from the older Burg Werrach above it.

It now houses parts of the town administration, the council chamber and the municipal gallery.
