Neues Schloss Uhyst stands in Boxberg/O.L. (Landkreis Görlitz), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 18th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Neues Schloss Uhyst stands at the northern edge of the village of Uhyst, near the Spree river, surrounded by a park that combines a Baroque garden with an English landscape park. Built in the 18th century for the von Gersdorff family, it was later remodeled in neoclassical style during the 19th century and subsequently served for decades as a sanatorium and hospital. The building itself, now empty and unrestored, is not open to visitors inside, though its grounds remain freely accessible.
