Schloss Bruckberg stands in Bruckberg (Landkreis Ansbach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Bruckberg stands on the northern edge of the village of Bruckberg, in the Landkreis Ansbach, on the site of a medieval stronghold whose original form is now unknown. The present building, raised in 1727/30 for the margravine of Ansbach, forms three wings around a courtyard open to the west, though its façades and interior were left unfinished after her death halted the works. From 1763 it served as a porcelain manufactory, and in the nineteenth century the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach lived in its south wing. Since 1891 the complex has belonged to a deaconess institution running a residential home for people with disabilities.
