Gut Weißenhaus stands in Wangels (Kreis Ostholstein), in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Weißenhaus stands on the Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein, at the center of a former agricultural estate now run as a luxury resort. The present neo-baroque building dates from the late 19th century, rebuilt after a fire on the foundations of an older manor whose 17th-century vaulted cellar still survives. Around it lies a landscaped park and a group of restored outbuildings, barns, a former dairy, workshops, which together make up today's Weißenhaus estate. The site hosted a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in 2022 and, more recently, the Freestyle Chess tournaments.
