Geyso-Schloss Mansbach stands in Hohenroda (Landkreis Hersfeld-Rotenburg), in Hesse, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Geyso-Schloss Mansbach stands in the village of Mansbach, part of the municipality of Hohenroda in Hesse. Built in the late 16th century under the name Wilhelmsburg, it took its current name from the von Geyso family, who acquired it in the mid 17th century and reshaped much of the building. The park-facing front features an octagonal stair tower, curved gables and a Renaissance portal with carved figures. A half-timbered wing now houses a local heritage museum.
