Schloss Braunshardt stands in Landkreis Darmstadt-Dieburg (Landkreis Darmstadt-Dieburg), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Braunshardt stands in the Braunshardt district of Weiterstadt, in Hesse. Built in 1760 for Prince Georg Wilhelm von Hessen-Darmstadt after a French model, this small Rococo residence was once known for having each room painted a different colour, a feature that struck Queen Victoria during her 1885 visit. Over the following centuries it passed through private owners, a religious charity and institutional use, with alterations changing part of the original structure. Marble fireplaces and old stucco work remain inside.
