Ehemaliges Pflegschloss Hohenburg stands in Hohenburg (Landkreis Amberg-Sulzbach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The former Pflegschloss of Hohenburg, also known as the Pfleghof, stands in Hohenburg, in the Landkreis Amberg-Sulzbach, Bavaria. This Renaissance building was erected in 1575 to house the bishop's local administrator, after the nearby Burg Hohenburg had become too uncomfortable and hard to reach for the tastes of the time. It rises three storeys under a gabled roof, with a hexagonal oriel on its south-eastern side, and was enlarged by an added wing in 1686. The building now stands empty and cannot be visited inside, though it can be seen from the street.
