Burgschloss Schorndorf stands in Schorndorf (Rems-Murr-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burgschloss Schorndorf stands at the southeastern edge of the old town, surrounded by a park that now covers the former moat. Built from 1538 under Duke Ulrich of Württemberg, it was part of a chain of fortified strongholds meant to protect the duchy, alongside places such as Hohenneuffen and Hohenasperg. Its half-timbered inner courtyard, massive corner towers and carved coats of arms above the gateways reflect the shift from a military fortress to a princely residence. The building today houses administrative offices, including the local district court.

What to know

The building now houses administrative offices, including a district court, so it is not open as a museum.
The exterior and inner courtyard can be freely viewed from the public park surrounding the building.
The Jagdschloss, a former hunting lodge built in 1555, stands directly opposite the main entrance.
The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany.
