Schloss Dargun stands in Dargun (Landkreis Mecklenburgische Seenplatte), in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Dargun Castle stands on the site of a Cistercian monastery founded in 1172, later converted into a princely residence after the Reformation and rebuilt several times up to the 17th century. A fire in 1945 left the complex as a secured ruin, combining remains of the Renaissance palace with the brick Gothic abbey church. During the summer season, the courtyards and the ruined church host concerts and exhibitions.
