Hammerschloss Vilswörth stands in Rieden (Landkreis Amberg-Sulzbach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Hammerschloss Vilswörth stands in the hamlet of the same name in Rieden, Bavaria, on a site that held a mill and later an iron forge from the Middle Ages onward. The present building dates from a mid 18th century reconstruction, recognizable by its hipped roof, corner quoins and a sandstone portal dated 1700. A small hydroelectric plant is now attached to the structure, a reminder of the site's industrial past. It is a private property restored after a fire in 2002, not a venue set up for public tours.
