The Rittergut Frankleben, also known as Schloss Frankleben, stands in the centre of the village of Braunsbedra in Saxony-Anhalt, on the site of a moated castle already recorded in 1326. The present Renaissance building was erected between 1597 and 1603 for the von Bose family, who held the estate until its expropriation in 1945.

Inside, wooden and stucco ceilings survive, while the former moat is still traceable on the south and east sides as ponds.
