Philippsburg stands in Leer (Landkreis Leer), in Lower Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Philippsburg stands in the Loga district of Leer, resembling a small palace rather than a fortified castle. It was built in 1730 as a residence for Baron Philipp von Wedel, arranged as a three-wing complex open toward the street in a style influenced by Dutch Baroque architecture. The central section, raised by an extra storey in 1906, still shows the curved gable of the original building, while the ornate entrance portal, flanked by stone lions and topped with a coat of arms, leads to an outdoor staircase. The house remains privately owned by a noble family, so it is best seen from the outside.

The building can be viewed from the outside, particularly the facade and the stone-lion portal.
